| Obverse description | A crenellated central tower flanked by two smaller side towers, each surmounted by a cross, rises above a gabled arch; a bishop's head appears above the gable in the upper field. A six-pointed star is placed beneath the gable in the lower field. The entire design is enclosed within a double border composed of a line and a ring of beads. The strike is characteristically irregular, as is typical of mid-13th-century Austrian hammered bracteate-style pfennigs. |

| Reverse description | Incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the architectural composition of the crenellated tower and flanking turrets with crosses, consistent with the bracteate or thin-flan hammered technique employed for Friesacher pfennigs of the period. The relief is shallow and the flan exhibits irregular edges typical of hand-cut silver planchets of the mid-13th century. |
