| Obverse description | Displayed eagle with spread wings facing right, rendered in a schematic, flat medieval style typical of mid-13th century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The bird's body is depicted in profile with angular, stylized plumage lines incised into the silver flan. The design occupies the full field of the irregular, roughly square hammered planchet, with no legend or border present. |

| Reverse description | Crowned equestrian figure advancing to the right, depicted in a primitive, linear style characteristic of mid-13th century Austrian coinage. The rider, seated on a horse shown in profile, raises a sword in the right hand, with the crown rendered as a simple pointed form above the head. The design is lightly struck and partially obscured by flan irregularities, with no surrounding legend; the unadorned field reflects the anonymous coinage of the Austrian Interregnum period. |
