| Obverse description | Enthroned duke depicted full-face in frontal view, seated with both hands resting on his hips, holding a fleur-de-lis scepter in his left hand. The effigy is rendered in the stylized Romanesque manner typical of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. A two-line circular border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery between the two concentric lines. |

| Reverse description | A frontal bust of a bishop rendered in the Romanesque style, depicted with both arms raised and hands open in an orans or benediction gesture. The bishop holds a domed structure flanked by two towers — a conventional schematic representation of a church or cathedral — symbolizing ecclesiastical authority over the city of Pettau (Ptuj). The design is enclosed within an outer border of lines and an inner beaded circle, characteristic of 13th-century Austrian regional coinage. |
