| Obverse description | Two angels facing one another, each supporting a frontal bust — likely representing a soul or holy figure — held aloft between them. Beneath the angels appears a stool-like architectural frame enclosing a T-shaped motif. The composition is framed by an outer border of beaded circles, with a mirage-like decorative element occupying the intervening field. The style is characteristic of Romanesque die-work typical of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the early twelfth century. |

| Reverse description | Armored bust in profile facing left, wearing a conical helmet of early medieval military type. The figure holds an upright sword in the right hand, while the left arm is raised. A pseudo-inscription or degenerate legend — likely a stylized rendering of a ruler's name or title — runs between two concentric beaded circles surrounding the central device. The engraving is consistent with the provincial Romanesque style associated with the Austrian pfennig series of Margrave Leopold III. |
