| Obverse description | Central field depicts an architectural structure, likely a stylized tower or castle, rendered in crude medieval relief typical of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. Flanking vegetal or foliate elements frame the central motif. A partial Latin legend is visible along the periphery, though much is lost to the irregular flan. The design is characteristic of the ecclesiastical minting traditions of the Patriarchate of Aquileia under Berthold V. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a crowned frontal bust, presumably a representation of the patriarch or a bishop, wearing a crown surmounted by a cross pattée and holding what appears to be a crozier or sceptre to the left. The figure is shown in a hieratic, stylized manner consistent with early 13th-century ecclesiastical coinage of the Austrian states. Flanking elements, possibly wings or drapery, extend to either side of the bust. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer margin of the irregular flan. The reverse demonstrates the crude but expressive hammered technique typical of Pfennig coinage of this period. |
