| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of a male ruler standing facing, clad in robes, holding a shield at his left side and an upright sword in his right hand; a six-pointed star appears to the left of the figure in the field. The design is rendered in the crude, bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage, with an irregularly shaped flan typical of the hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | A facing bust depicted in high relief at center, flanked by two heraldic eagles, one held in each hand; a six-pointed star is placed above the bust in the upper field. The imagery is consistent with the dynastic symbolism of the Duchy of Merania, rendered in the schematic, deeply struck style characteristic of mid-13th-century Austrian regional pfennig coinage on an irregular hammered flan. |
