| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized architectural motif depicting a fortified gateway or castle façade with three towers, rendered in a bold, schematic Romanesque style. The structure features a crenellated base with rows of pellets, flanked by two lateral turrets and surmounted by a central taller tower with pellet ornaments. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a partial outer legend along the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a mounted figure, likely a margrave or equestrian ruler, shown in profile facing right and seated upon a horse in a stylized Romanesque manner. The rider appears to carry a weapon or sceptre and is rendered in relatively high relief against a plain field. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with traces of a peripheral legend along the irregular, flan edge typical of hammered medieval coinage. |
