| Obverse description | An eagle displayed facing left, rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of 12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The eagle's wings are spread and its body is depicted in profile within a beaded inner circle. A series of pellets is distributed around the figure in the field, serving as decorative fillers typical of Krems workshop production. |

| Reverse description | An armed equestrian figure, facing right, mounted on a striding horse and brandishing an upraised sword in his right hand. The rider wears a helmet and is depicted in the vigorous, linear style associated with 12th-century Austrian deniers struck at Krems. A border of pellets surrounds the central design within a plain linear circle, consistent with the CNA type B 27 attribution to Duke Leopold V. |
