| Obverse description | A frontal angel figure facing left with right hand raised in a gesture of benediction or salutation, while the left hand holds a horn. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of late 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. A raised beaded or incuse circle forms the border, enclosing the entire design within the field. |

| Reverse description | A squirrel depicted in profile moving to the left, rendered in the simple, schematic style typical of hammered Austrian pfennig coinage of the late 13th century. The design occupies the central field of the irregular flan, with no surrounding legend or additional decorative elements. The incuse nature of the strike reflects the thin silver fabric standard for this emission. |
