| Obverse description | Within a beaded or dotted inner circle, a standing figure — likely St. Vitus (patron saint of St. Veit an der Glan) — depicted in a frontal, hieratic posture with arms raised or outstretched in an orant-like gesture, rendered in the crude but expressive Romanesque style typical of early 13th-century Austrian pfennigs. The figure is framed by an arch or mandorla-shaped border. A partial Latin legend referencing the duke runs around the periphery of the irregularly shaped hammered flan. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a seated or enthroned bishop or saintly figure is depicted in three-quarter or frontal view, consistent with representations of St. Vitus common to Carinthian pfennigs of the early 13th century. The figure is shown with stylized drapery and may hold a liturgical attribute. The surrounding Latin legend identifying the mint of St. Veit runs along the outer margin of the irregularly struck flan in the crude lettering characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. |
