| Obverse description | Architectural representation of a fortified tower or castle depicted in a schematic, Romanesque style, centrally positioned within the field. The structure features crenellated battlements and a prominent arched gate, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century hammered coinage. The surrounding field is plain, with the irregular flan edge typical of medieval bracteate-influenced pfennigs. Partial legend fragments are visible around the periphery, though largely illegible due to the irregular striking. |

| Reverse description | A patriarchal or ecclesiastical cross surmounting a stylized bust or head, enclosed within a plain inner circle, rendered in the bold, schematic relief typical of Austrian hammered pfennigs of the early 13th century. The cross displays a double-barred form atop a rounded, possibly bearded effigy, symbolizing the episcopal authority of the Patriarch of Aquileia. The field surrounding the central device is plain, and the flan edges are characteristically irregular from the hand-hammering process. No discernible legend is present on this face. |
