| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized heraldic eagle or animal figure rendered in a bold, primitive Gothic style, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads MEINHARDVS COMES in uncial Latin characters, distributed around the coin's periphery between the beaded border and the outer rim. The flan is irregular, characteristic of hand-struck medieval coinage, with slight weakness in the strike across portions of the legend. The overall design reflects the feudal artistic conventions of thirteenth-century Austrian territorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a large cross pattée or cross with expanded arms, dividing the inner circle into four quarters, with incuse lines radiating outward in a decorative fashion. The field is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, around which the legend GORICIE D`LVONZE is distributed in uncial Latin characters. The outer border is likewise beaded, consistent with hammered medieval deniers of the region. The reverse exhibits typical flat-strike characteristics of mid-thirteenth-century Tyrolean and Carinthian minting practice, with moderate die wear and an irregular flan edge. |
