| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized heraldic eagle displayed, rendered in the bold, schematic manner characteristic of 12th-century Swabian bracteate-influenced coinage. The wings are spread and the body is shown frontally with angular, deeply struck relief typical of hammered medieval deniers. Below the eagle, a lozenged or shield-like device with a central pellet rosette is visible, possibly representing a heraldic charge associated with the Palatine counts of Tübingen. The flan is irregular and the design extends nearly to the edge, with faint traces of a peripheral inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | Enthroned frontal figure, likely a representation of the count or a regal authority, shown seated with stylized robes rendered in angular relief. The figure appears to hold regalia in each hand, consistent with contemporaneous representations of palatine authority on 12th-century South German coinage. Flanking elements suggest architectural framing or supporters, executed in the crude but vigorous style typical of Swabian hammered silver of this period. The flan is irregular with a broad, flat field and the design fills the available surface with no distinct border. |
