| Obverse description | Full-length armored figure facing forward, brandishing a sword in each raised hand, rendered in a schematic medieval style typical of Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. A circular legend in Latin script is inscribed between two concentric linear borders enclosing the central device. The figure's military character evokes the martial authority of the issuing margrave. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust of an angel positioned beneath a tower or architectural canopy, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian regional coinage. In place of the angel's left wing, the figure bears a flag or pennant, a distinctive and iconographically unusual feature of this type. The entire design is framed by a beaded circle and additional linear border elements in the field. |
