| Obverse description | A crowned, enthroned figure shown frontally in schematic Romanesque style, seated between two stylized architectural or heraldic elements that flank the central motif. The crown, rendered with distinct projecting points, surmounts a roughly modeled head, with the body depicted in low relief. The surrounding field bears irregular, partially legible inscription remnants, characteristic of the bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the region. The overall design is bold and hieratic, consistent with ecclesiastical authority coinage of early 13th-century Austria. |

| Reverse description | A standing figure, likely the Patriarch or a bishop, depicted frontally in full length and wearing a mitre, rendered in the rough, high-relief hammered style typical of early medieval Austrian pfennigs. The figure holds what appears to be a crozier or staff in one hand, with drapery folds indicated by incised parallel lines on the vestments. Flanking elements in the field suggest architectural framing or attendant symbols. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as expected for hand-struck coinage of this period and region. |
