Obverse description Facing bust of a crowned figure, likely a duke or ecclesiastical ruler, depicted frontally within a beaded inner circle. The crowned effigy displays a simple three-pointed crown with pendilia flanking the face, and a draped bust rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of late 13th- to early 14th-century Austrian hammered coinage. No legible inscription is present in the field.

Reverse description A heraldic eagle displayed, rendered in a bold and schematic style typical of Friesach-type bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the Salzburg region. The spread-winged eagle occupies the central field within a plain border, its form simplified and somewhat crude in execution due to the hammered technique and small flan size. No surrounding legend is present.
