| Obverse description | Central design featuring a stylized facing head or mask rendered in a crude, archaic manner typical of 13th-century Styrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend +MONETH STIRIE arranged around the periphery. The entire design is contained within a plain outer border. The strike is irregular and characteristic of hand-hammered medieval coinage from the Graz mint under Ottokar II. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a faint incuse or weakly struck design consistent with the thin hammered fabric of this medieval Styrian pfennig, showing vestiges of a central motif surrounded by concentric circular border lines. The surface is largely plain and undetailed, as is typical of single-sided or poorly struck coins of this type and period. The irregular flan edges and uneven metal flow are characteristic of 13th-century Graz mint production. |
