| Obverse description | A Bernese double cross occupies the central field of this crudely struck hammered denier. The cross design is rendered in low relief with roughly defined arms extending toward the irregular flan edges. The overall execution is characteristic of 13th-century Tyrolean minor coinage, with no surrounding legend. The surfaces show the typical unevenness associated with hand-struck medieval silver issues. |

| Reverse description | A stylized eagle displayed in the central field, rendered in the coarse, low-relief style typical of 13th-century hammered Tyrolean deniers. The bird's wings are spread and the body is facing forward, though the weak strike renders fine details indistinct. The irregular flan edge truncates portions of the design, and no surrounding legend is present. The overall treatment reflects the heraldic conventions associated with the County of Tyrol under Meinhard II. |
