| Obverse description | Two addorsed dragons displayed back-to-back in the central field, their necks arched and heads turned outward, with a stylized lion's head or pellet motif visible at the base between them. The entire design is contained within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a beaded border following the irregular flan contour. The composition is executed in the bold, simplified relief characteristic of Austrian medieval bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. |

| Reverse description | A sinuous serpent or dragon rendered in profile, its body coiling to fill the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is executed in low relief with a flat, unadorned field, consistent with the reverse treatment of hammered Austrian pfennigs of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. No legend or additional ornamental elements are present. |
