| Obverse description | Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted in left profile, head turned back to the right in the typical passant regardant posture, bearing a long diagonal staff or cross surmounted by a pennant or banner. The figure is rendered in bold relief within a raised inner ring or torse, characteristic of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the late 13th century. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A frontal bust of a crowned angel, depicted with wings partially visible, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner. The bust is surrounded by an ornamental border composed of alternating leaf motifs and heraldic shields, forming a decorative outer ring around the central effigy. The overall composition reflects the characteristic artistic conventions of Austrian ducal coinage of the later 13th century, with the crowned angelic figure serving as a symbol of divine authority. |
