| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized eagle displayed with spread wings, the head facing forward; below the eagle, a six-pointed rosette or star ornament occupies the lower field. The design is rendered in a bold, flat relief characteristic of late 13th-century Austrian hammered bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. No legend is present; the field is plain beyond the central device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, typical of a hammered pfennig of this period and region, displays an incuse mirror impression of the obverse eagle design, with a walking or seated lion within a beaded circle visible in relief, consistent with the Carinthian heraldic tradition. The strike is irregular and the surface shows characteristic die-sink and flow lines of hand-hammered silver coinage. No legend is present. |
