| Obverse description | Central cross with decorative rosettes or pellets positioned in each of the four angles formed by the cross arms, all enclosed within a raised outer ring or beaded border. The design is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of late medieval Austrian hammered bracteate-style pfennigs. The surfaces show typical die wear and irregular flan edges consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse design is entirely indiscernible due to the nature of the thin hammered flan and the striking technique, resulting in a flat, featureless surface with only incuse impressions from the obverse visible. No legends, devices, or secondary motifs can be identified. This is consistent with Friesach-type pfennigs of the 14th century, which frequently exhibit unintelligible or blank reverses. |
