| Obverse description | A heraldic lion passant facing left, rendered in a crude medieval style, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The lion's body is depicted with stylized musculature typical of 13th-century Tirolean coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters surrounds the inner circle, reading MEINHARDUS COMES, identifying the issuing count. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered deniers produced in the Alpine region during the High Middle Ages. |

| Reverse description | A six-petalled rosette or flower motif is centrally displayed within an oval or beaded inner border, its petals rendered in a simple stylized manner consistent with 13th-century Alpine die-cutting. The surrounding field carries a circular legend in Gothic lettering identifying the place of issue. The inscription GORICIA DE LUONZE references both the County of Görz and the mint town of Lienz, confirming the coin's regional attribution. The overall composition is typical of the small hammered bracteate-influenced deniers of the Tirolean-Görz series. |
