| Obverse description | Styrian panther passant to the left, depicted within a raised inner border, the heraldic beast shown with its characteristic open mouth and raised forepaw. The figure is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered medieval coinage of the Austrian duchies, with a beaded or denticulated outer border surrounding the design field. The panther, emblematic of the Duchy of Styria, dominates the coin's surface without accompanying legend. |

| Reverse description | Uniface issue; the reverse is entirely plain and unworked, exhibiting the characteristic smooth, slightly concave surface produced as a natural consequence of the hammered striking process applied to a single-die uniface pfennig. The surface shows natural flow lines and minor die pressure marks typical of medieval Austrian bracteate-style minor coinage. |
