| Obverse description | Two standing figures facing one another in full length, rendered in low relief in the medieval Romanesque style typical of 13th-century ecclesiastical coinage. The left figure appears to be a bishop or patriarch in liturgical vestments, holding a crozier, while the right figure is similarly robed; both figures are shown with rounded head coverings. The design occupies the entirety of the flat, unbordered field, with no legend present. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck hammered production. |

| Reverse description | A bold plain cross pattée occupying the central field, dividing the reverse into four quarters. In the upper-left and lower-right quarters, crescent moons are placed with their horns pointing outward; in the upper-right and lower-left quarters, six-pointed rosettes or mullets serve as decorative charges. No legend or border inscription is present. The overall design is typical of 13th-century Friesacher-type pfennigs issued in the Patriarchate of Aquileia, rendered in crisp relief on an irregular hammered flan. |
