| Obverse description | Central trefoil motif with three fish arranged radially around it, each fish oriented with its head toward the trefoil and its tail toward the coin's periphery. The design is executed in low relief on a plain, unlettered field, typical of the bracteate-influenced Viennese pfennig tradition of the early fourteenth century. The flan is irregular in shape, as characteristic of hammered medieval coinage of this period and region. No legend or inscription is present. |

No design elements, inscriptions, or symbols are present on this side. |
