| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, an eagle displayed facing right, rendered in the crude bracteate-influenced style typical of Austrian medieval pfennigs. The space between the inner and outer beaded border is adorned with a series of semicircles, each containing a half rosette, creating a decorative annular frame characteristic of the Vienna mint's output under Friedrich II der Streitbare. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a deer (stag) depicted in profile with its head turned back in the classic passant-reguardant pose, rendered in the schematic, flat style typical of hammered Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs of the mid-13th century. The annular space between the inner and outer beaded borders is punctuated by small stars evenly distributed around the circumference, forming a decorative ring framing the central design. |
