| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized eagle displayed with spread wings, facing forward, rendered in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The bird's body is depicted frontally with prominent wing feathers and talons visible. The design is framed by a beaded border with small decorative elements in the field. The overall composition is typical of the Enns mint production under Duke Leopold VI, exhibiting the crude but vigorous workmanship of early 13th-century hammered silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned facing lion or leonine head in high relief, set within a plain inner circle, consistent with the reverse type of Enns pfennigs struck under Leopold VI of Austria. The mane is rendered with broad, stylized strokes, and the crown above the head is indicated by pointed projections. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, as expected from hammered coinage of this period and mint. The field surrounding the central device is plain, with the beaded border partially visible at the periphery. |
