Obverse description Within a beaded inner circle, a crenellated tower surmounted by a crown occupies the central field, flanked to the right by a crescent moon. The design is rendered in a bold, low-relief hammered style typical of 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The surrounding field is plain within the inner circle, with a beaded border visible along the coin's irregular flan edge. No legend is present on this face.

Reverse description The reverse displays a seated frontal figure, likely a ruler or sovereign effigy, shown in schematic form with a crown atop the head and holding regalia. The figure is centrally placed within a plain inner circle, flanked by small cross or star ornaments in the field. The design is characteristic of Styrian-Carinthian hammered pfennigs of the later 13th century, executed in shallow relief on an irregular flan. No legend is present.
