| Obverse description | Facing bust of an archbishop or ecclesiastical figure rendered in low relief in the archaic Friesach style, depicted frontally within a beaded inner circle. The figure wears a mitre or crown and vestments, with two small pellets or dots representing the eyes, giving the effigy a characteristic schematic appearance typical of late 13th to early 14th century Austrian hammered coinage. The bust is flanked by wings or stylized architectural elements on either side. The surrounding field is plain, bordered by a beaded or pearled inner ring and an irregular outer rim consistent with hammered production. No legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Plain, deeply concave reverse consistent with the bracteate-influenced Friesach pfennig tradition, exhibiting the characteristic incuse ghost impression of the obverse design. The surface shows a broad, slightly raised arc or bow-shaped element in the central field, likely the incuse reflection of the obverse bust. The reverse is entirely without legend or additional design elements, and the irregular flan edge confirms hand-hammered production. The overall fabric is thin and slightly dish-shaped, typical of late medieval Austrian regional silver coinage. |
