| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized multi-petalled rosette or lily bloom, rendered in a bold, schematic manner characteristic of medieval Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. Three stylized lilies alternate with three heraldic binding shields arranged in a radial composition around the central motif. The design is executed in low relief with no legend or inscription, typical of the anonymous Vienna pfennig coinage of Duke Albrecht II. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, as is typical for this type of thin hammered pfennig, displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing faint impressed traces of the central rosette and surrounding motifs. The fields are largely plain with irregular flan edges. No legend or inscription is present on the reverse, consistent with the anonymous Vienna pfennig series of the mid-fourteenth century issued under Duke Albrecht II of Austria. |
