| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized eagle displayed with spread wings, rendered in high relief in the characteristic Romanesque bracteate-influenced style of 12th-century Austrian coinage. The eagle's head is shown facing forward with prominent eyes, flanked by large, curling wings with feather details indicated by incised lines. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle bordered by a continuous outer ring of pellets, typical of the Vienna mint's output under the Babenberg dukes. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a passant lion in high relief, rendered in the crude but vigorous Romanesque style characteristic of late 12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The lion is depicted in profile facing left with a prominent round head, open mouth, and a body detailed with pellet and curl motifs suggesting a mane and haunches. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a border of evenly spaced pellets along the irregular flan edge, a hallmark of Viennese mint production of the Babenberg period. |
