Obverse description Full-length frontal effigy of a standing duke clad in chainmail hauberk, holding a sword upright over each shoulder. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. A partial Latin legend encircles the design between two concentric lines, with only the fragmentary inscription [---]V surviving.

Reverse description Facing bust of an angel with large, towering spread wings prominently displayed above the shoulders. Surmounting the head is a tower bearing three merlons, rendered in a schematic architectural style. A Latin legend, partially legible as +FRI[SAC]h, encircles the design between two beaded circles, consistent with the epigraphy of Carniolan pfennig coinage of the early 13th century.
