Beschrijving voorzijde	Facing frontal bust of Duke Henry II Jasomirgott, crowned and robed, depicted in a hieratic, Romanesque style typical of twelfth-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The duke appears enthroned or standing, holding regalia, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads RV RV RV RV, repeated in the field around the central effigy. The flan is broad and irregular, characteristic of hand-hammered medieval coinage of the period.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Broad, lightly struck reverse showing a frontal crowned bust or architectural motif in low relief, typical of the obverse design bleeding through on the thin hammered flan. The central device appears to depict a crowned figure or architectural element, consistent with the Romanesque style of Austrian pfennigs of the Babenberg period. The surface shows the characteristic flatness and irregular flan edge of mid-twelfth-century Austrian hand-struck silver coinage. No distinct legend is present on this side.
