| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a winged lion with a crowned human head is depicted passant facing left, rendered in a bold, archaic medieval style typical of Carinthian bracteate-influenced coinage. A partial Latin legend appears in the outer field between two concentric circles, though heavily worn and only partially legible. The design is characteristic of the heraldic imagery employed under Duke Ulrich III, reflecting the emblematic traditions of the region. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant facing left occupies the central field, boldly struck within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding outer field bears a Latin legend between two beaded concentric circles reading CVRITASΓAIBAC, interpreted as an abbreviated form of Civitas Laibaci, meaning 'City of Laibach' (modern-day Ljubljana). The design is executed in the crude but vigorous hammered style characteristic of mid-13th century Austrian regional coinage. Wear and flan irregularities are consistent with circulation use. |
