| Obverse description | Within a raised double beaded rim, a half-length frontal figure rendered in a schematic, stylized manner, depicted holding two upward-curving fish tails, one in each hand, their tails splaying outward symmetrically. The design is executed in bold relief characteristic of Austrian medieval bracteate-style pfennigs, with the figure's body reduced to an abstract form. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Uniface strike; the reverse displays only the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design as a consequence of the single-die hammered striking technique, with no intentional design, inscription, or decorative element. The surface is irregular and slightly concave, typical of thin medieval pfennigs of this period. |
