| Obverse description | Enthroned figure of Duke Frederick II facing front, depicted seated on a throne with architectural elements flanking the composition. The ruler is shown in regal attire, holding regalia, rendered in the flat, schematic style characteristic of 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly cusped at the corners, with the design occupying the full field. No legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Stylized city gate or fortified tower flanked by two additional turrets, representing the town of Stein (Kamnik) in Oberkrain (Carniola). Below the architectural motif, a crescent or arch form frames a small pellet arrangement of three pellets in a triangular grouping, serving as a mintmark or decorative element. The design is bold and deeply struck in the hammered style, consistent with contemporary Austrian regional coinage. No legend is present; the entire reverse field is consumed by the heraldic architectural device. |
