| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized eight-petalled rosette in high relief, its petals radiating symmetrically outward from a raised central pellet or small annulet. The rosette is enclosed within a plain raised inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad outer ring forming the coin's border. The flan is irregular and slightly squared at the corners, characteristic of hand-cut medieval hammered coinage. The design is executed in a bold, simple style typical of late 13th- to early 14th-century Austrian pfennig coinage from the Völkermarkt mint. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a spread eagle displayed, rendered in a stylized, somewhat schematic medieval manner with wings outstretched and head facing to the right. The eagle is contained within a plain raised inner circle, with a secondary outer border ring visible near the flan edge. The design is weakly struck in places, consistent with the hammered technique and the irregular flan typical of Carinthian pfennigs of this period. Scattered pellets or small raised elements may be observed in the field around the eagle, possibly remnants of a partial legend or decorative border now largely illegible. |
