Obverse description	Armored rider advancing to the right, carrying a banner or lance, the design somewhat indistinct due to the hammered technique. A trefoil ornament occupies the left field. The peripheral area is decorated with an arrangement of crosses, horseshoes, and rings forming a decorative border around the central equestrian motif.

Reverse description	Central rosette design composed of interconnected medallions arranged in a circular pattern, enclosing alternating motifs of four stylized human heads and two trefoil ornaments. The interior of the rosette is filled with dot embellishments, while rings ornament the outer border, creating a richly decorative composition characteristic of mid-12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage.
