| Obverse description | Mounted knight advancing to right, bearing a sword raised over the right shoulder; the figure is rendered in a stylized, flat medieval manner characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with pellets or balls distributed in the intervening space between the raised central field and the outer pearl border. |

| Reverse description | A heraldic eagle displayed facing right, wings spread and tail feathers fanned, depicted in bold relief within a circle of incised lines. Rosettes or small floral ornaments are distributed in the annular space between the inner line circle and the outer pearl border, lending a decorative framing to the central device. The style is consistent with Viennese workshop production of the early 13th century under Duke Leopold VI. |
