| Obverse description | A stylized human head or mask perched atop two conjoined animal bodies, rendered in the crude but expressive manner typical of medieval Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. A trefoil ornament appears in the lower field beneath the central device. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with no legible legend present. |

| Reverse description | Uniface strike; the reverse is entirely blank, bearing only the incuse impression of the obverse design as a consequence of the hammered bracteate-style production technique used for this series of Styrian pfennigs. |
