| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a crowned angel with spread wings, bearing a pointed shield on the breast in the field. The figure is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of Austrian bracteate-derived pfennigs, with the wings flanking the body symmetrically. No legend is present; the design occupies the full flan within an irregular border. |

| Reverse description | Incuse and weakly struck reverse showing the shadowed impression of the obverse design, as is typical of thin hammered silver pfennigs of this period. The faint outline of a panther passant to the left may be discerned, consistent with the Styrian heraldic tradition associated with the Austrian Habsburgs. No legend present. |
