| Obverse description | Bracteate-type uniface hammered pfennig struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan. The central device depicts a stylized panther passant to the right — the heraldic beast of Styria — rendered in low relief with characteristic flame-like projections. The figure is set within a crescent or lunate frame open at the base, a compositional device typical of Styrian pfennigs of the mid-14th century. The field surrounding the device is plain, with no legend or inscription. The overall style reflects the crude but expressive hand-engraving conventions of Austrian regional coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uniface coin with no struck design on the reverse; the surface shows only the natural flow marks and irregularities characteristic of hammered medieval bracteate-style pfennigs struck on thin silver flans. The reverse bears no legend, device, or decorative element, consistent with standard Styrian pfennig production of the 14th century. |
