| Obverse description | A stylized panther passant to left, rendered in bold relief within a plain square frame set on its corner as a lozenge-shaped border, typical of the Styrian bracteate-influenced pfennig tradition. The panther, the heraldic beast of Styria, is depicted with its head turned back, characteristic of the regional coinage under Frederick III. The design occupies the full interior of the square frame, with the field showing minimal additional detail. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-hammered medieval coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the incuse negative impression of the obverse design, a characteristic feature of thin hammered medieval pfennigs of this period. The flan is plain and unworked, showing the natural surface of the silver with no intentional design elements, legends, or devices. Surface wear and minor scratches are consistent with circulation use. The irregular flan shape and variable thickness reflect standard hand-hammering production techniques of 14th-century Styrian minting practice. |
