| Obverse description | A Styrian panther depicted in profile emerging from a crenellated battlement tower, rendered in a bold, stylized medieval manner typical of late 13th-century Austrian bracteate-style coinage. The central device is flanked on either side by small rosettes in the field. The entire design is contained within a plain inner circle, itself set within the irregular flan characteristic of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, a consequence of the single-die hammered striking technique, displays an incuse mirror impression of the obverse type. The panther and tower motif appears in shallow negative relief, with the surface showing the characteristic irregular texture of a hand-struck medieval pfennig. Faint mint marks or secondary control marks may be discernible in the field, consistent with Graz mint practice of the period. |
