| Obverse description | Bracteate-style hammered pfennig depicting a heraldic panther passant within a beaded or raised border. The design is rendered in low relief typical of late 13th-century Styrian coinage, with the central charge occupying the majority of the flat field. The irregular flan, characteristic of hand-hammered medieval issues, exhibits natural edge irregularities. The surface shows wear consistent with circulation, with design elements partially flattened. |

| Reverse description | Reverse shows the incuse or brockage impression inherent to the thin hammered flan construction, with a faint ghost image of the obverse design visible in low relief. The broad, flat field displays the natural toning and patina of aged silver, with surface marks and die flow lines consistent with medieval hand-striking techniques. No legend or additional design elements are present on this face. |
