| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a seated figure facing forward, likely a bishop or duke in ecclesiastical or regal vestments, rendered in a schematic, Romanesque style characteristic of 13th-century Carinthian bracteate-related coinage. The figure appears enthroned or seated on a bench, with architectural elements — possibly crenellations or a stylised arcade — visible in the lower field beneath the seat. The flan is irregular with characteristic cracking and fissures typical of hammered medieval silver. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a schematic architectural or heraldic composition in low relief, with what appears to be a central tower or fortified structure flanked by stylised figures or foliate elements, consistent with representations of the Gutenwerth mint and Carinthian regional iconography. The design is rendered in a coarse, bold style typical of provincial hammered pfennigs of the 13th century. The flan shows multiple cracks and an uneven, irregularly clipped edge. |
