| Obverse description | A bird in flight facing left, depicted with disproportionately large, spread wings rendered in a stylized medieval manner. The design is contained within a raised outer border accompanied by an inner beaded circle framing the central motif. The surfaces are characteristic of hammered coinage, exhibiting irregular flan shape and uneven relief typical of late 13th to early 14th century Austrian regional minting. |

| Reverse description | An eagle displayed in the central field, rendered in the schematic style characteristic of Carinthian bracteate-influenced pfennigs of this period. The surrounding legend circle is punctuated by rosettes and annulets in place of alphabetic inscription, a common decorative convention on anonymous regional issues. The flan is irregular and the relief shallow, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the late medieval Austrian states. |
