| Obverse description | Full-length figure of the Duke striding to the right, brandishing a sword in his raised right hand and bearing a shield in his left; the figure's legs extend downward into the surrounding legend. The inscription is arranged in the outer field between two concentric beaded or linear circles, forming a typical medieval bracteate-style border treatment. |

| Reverse description | A cross pattée occupies the central field, with four rosettes disposed in each of the four angles formed by the arms of the cross. A circumscribal legend runs around the outer field, contained between two concentric circles of lines, consistent with the hammered coinage style of the Duchy of Austria in the early to mid-thirteenth century. |
