| Obverse description | Facing bust of a crowned ruler, rendered in the stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of mid-13th-century Swabian bracteates, wearing a diademed crown with horizontal banding. The effigy holds a sceptre or sword in the left hand, while to the right a small rampant lion is depicted, serving as a heraldic attribute of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a broad outer border composed of large raised pellets. No legend is present; the entire decorative program is concentrated in the central motif. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, this coin is struck from a single die on a thin flan, resulting in an incuse mirror image of the obverse design visible on the reverse. The reverse therefore presents the same crowned facing bust, sceptre, and rampant lion in sunken relief, with the pellet border appearing correspondingly in intaglio. No additional design elements or inscriptions are present on the reverse. |
