| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized architectural structure depicted as a crenellated tower or gatehouse occupies the upper field, flanked on each side by a six-pointed star. Below the architecture, two facing helmeted heads are rendered in a schematic, Romanesque style, their visored faces confronted and partially overlapping at center, recalling the heraldic imagery associated with the Archbishopric of Salzburg. The overall composition is enclosed within a broad, flat rim characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. No legend is present. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, typical of a hammered bracteate-style pfennig of this period, displays a weakly impressed incuse or through-strike image corresponding to the obverse design. A standing frontal figure, likely an episcopal or ecclesiastical effigy, is faintly discernible within a circular border, rendered in low relief characteristic of the thin hammered silver flans produced at the Salzburg mint during the early 13th century. The surface shows natural flow lines and die wear consistent with the irregular flan. No legend is present. |
