| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a stylized eagle displayed, rendered in bold relief with broadly spread wings and prominent tail feathers, all executed in the vigorous, schematic manner characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-related coinage. The figure is enclosed within a plain inner circle, beyond which the irregular flan edge exhibits the characteristic ragged profile of hand-cut hammered silver. No legend or inscription is present. The relief is high and the design somewhat asymmetric, consistent with hand-engraved dies of the Viennese workshop of Duke Leopold VI. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays an equestrian figure in profile facing right, depicting a mounted knight or ducal rider with raised arm, rendered in bold but schematic relief typical of early 13th-century Austrian Pfennig coinage. The horse is shown in a stylized galloping pose, with simplified limbs and body contours characteristic of the Vienna Mint workshop under Leopold VI. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, with the irregular flan edge visible beyond. No inscription or legend is present, and the field is otherwise plain. |
