| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bareheaded duke depicted in a schematic Romanesque style, holding an upraised sword in each hand, symbolizing ducal authority. The effigy is rendered facing forward within a beaded inner circle. The border is composed of an asterisk or star ornament pattern, characteristic of medieval Bavarian bracteate-influenced coinage. |

| Reverse description | Architectural motif depicting three round Romanesque arches joined at their piers; the larger central arch contains a frontal head in high relief, while each of the two flanking arches encloses a small ringlet or annulet. Above the arcade, two lions passant are shown running toward one another in heraldic confrontation. The design is framed by a pearl circle, an outer star border, and a further pearl circle, creating a layered decorative border typical of 12th–13th century South German pfennig coinage. |
