| Obverse description | Facing bust of Duke Albrecht II, depicted in schematic style typical of medieval Austrian bracteate-related pfennigs, wearing a ducal crown or helmet with flanking decorative elements. The figure is rendered in a flat, stylized manner characteristic of 14th-century Viennese hammered coinage. The broad, irregular flan displays a slightly lobate outline with four pinched indentations. No legend is present; the design occupies the full field. |

| Reverse description | Architectural motif rendered in schematic medieval style, likely depicting a stylized city gate or tower flanked by turrets, a common reverse type on Viennese pfennigs of the Habsburg period. The design is executed in low relief on an irregularly shaped, pinched flan. The composition fills the entire field with no surrounding legend. The surface shows typical wear and flan irregularities consistent with 14th-century hand-struck coinage from the Vienna mint. |
