| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized heraldic cross with fleur-de-lis terminals, enclosing a six-pointed star at its center. The cross arms are elaborately cusped and trefoil-ended, rendered in the bold, simplified style characteristic of late 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennige. The design fills the flan with no legend, relying entirely on the geometric symmetry of the cross motif. The irregular flan edge is typical of hammered coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a facing bust of Duke Albrecht I, shown in high relief with a stylized crown or ducal headdress, the facial features rendered in a summary manner consistent with medieval Austrian die-cutting conventions. The figure appears draped, with schematic folds indicated by incuse lines flanking the bust. No legend is present, the bust occupying the full field of the irregularly shaped hammered flan. Light wear and surface deposits are consistent with prolonged circulation. |
