Obverse description Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) passant to the left, bearing a cross-staff or vexillum over its shoulder, rendered in bold relief within a beaded or plain inner border. The lamb's head is turned back, and stylized foliate or decorative elements appear at the base. The design is typical of ecclesiastical Friesacher Pfennig coinage, executed in the provincial hammered style of the Salzburg mint. No legend present.

Reverse description Spread eagle displayed in the central field, surrounded by three rosettes or pellets arranged in the field, all within a plain border. The eagle's wings are outstretched in heraldic fashion, consistent with the arms associated with the Archbishopric of Salzburg. The design is weakly struck and partially flat, as is characteristic of hammered bracteate-style Friesacher Pfennige of this period. No legend present.
