| Obverse description | A dog passant to the left rendered in high relief within a plain inner circle, the animal depicted with naturalistic hindquarters and forepaws raised in a striding posture. A stylised branch or twig motif appears above the dog in the upper field. The design is unlettered, consistent with the bracteate-influenced Friesach pfennig tradition of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The irregular flan, typical of hammered medieval coinage, shows characteristic clipping at the edges. |

| Reverse description | An eagle displayed within a square or rectangular frame, surrounded by a series of concentric ring or pellet decorations filling the field, all contained within a plain inner circle. The eagle motif, a heraldic emblem associated with imperial and episcopal authority, is rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of medieval Austrian pfennig coinage. The reverse design is anepigraphic, with no legend or inscription present. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, consistent with hammered manufacture. |
