Obverse description Central rosette from which a stylized lily projects upward, the lily flanked symmetrically by four small crosses arranged in the field. A single pellet is placed between the rosette and the base of the lily, serving as a dividing device. The design is executed in low relief typical of hammered bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the Salzburg region, with no legend present.

Reverse description Heraldic eagle depicted within a circular border formed by alternating annulets and rosettes, the eagle rendered in a schematic, flat style characteristic of medieval Austrian provincial coinage. The surrounding decorative ring of rosettes and rings frames the central motif and fills the field to the periphery. No inscriptions or legends are present on this side.
