| Obverse description | Facing bust of Archbishop Eberhard II in high relief, depicted in ecclesiastical vestments with mitre, rendered in the broad, flat hammered style characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced deniers. The figure is shown frontally within a plain field, with stylized drapery folds indicated by incuse lines. The overall composition displays the angular, somewhat abstract artistic conventions typical of Salzburg mint production of the period. |

| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée at centre, with four pellets or roundels positioned in each quadrant between the arms of the cross, surrounded by a radiating or petal-like ornamental pattern extending toward the coin's irregular periphery. Small annulets are distributed around the cross, framed by a beaded border. The design is characteristic of the decorative reverse types employed at the Salzburg mint during the early 13th century, reflecting the Regensburg stylistic influence. |
