| Obverse description | Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted in left profile, rendered in a bold, archaic hammered style typical of medieval Austrian pfennigs. The lamb is shown passant, its head turned upward toward a cross-tipped staff or banner rising above its back. The design fills the irregular flan with no legend, the field plain and unbordered save for the raised rim of the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | A knight's great helm rendered in high relief, decorated with elaborate foliate or antler-like ornaments projecting from the crown, consistent with the heraldic crested helmets characteristic of Austrian ducal coinage of the early fourteenth century. The helmet faces forward, centrally placed on the flan with no surrounding legend. The bold, deeply struck design is typical of the Viennese hammered pfennig tradition under Frederick the Fair. |
