| Obverse description | Stylized imitation of a heraldic lily in the field, with the central point replaced by a rosette and the lateral leaves substituted by drooping branches. The design is rendered in a crude, schematic manner characteristic of late 13th- to early 14th-century Carinthian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The flan is irregularly shaped and the strike is weak in places, consistent with hand-hammered provincial coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Indistinct incuse impression showing the partial outline of what may be an eagle, the identification being uncertain due to the shallow and worn nature of the strike. The reverse design, typical of bracteate-style or thin hammered pfennigs, appears as a mirror-image ghost of the obverse fabric. No legend or inscription is discernible. The overall preservation is consistent with heavily circulated or corroded base-silver coinage of medieval Carinthia. |
