| Obverse description | Enthroned duke depicted in frontal facing position, seated with both hands resting at his hips, holding a fleur-de-lis-headed scepter in his left hand. The effigy is rendered in the schematic Romanesque style characteristic of Friesacher Pfennige of the early 13th century. A circular legend in Latin appears between two linear border circles surrounding the central design. |

| Reverse description | Frontal facing ducal head or bust positioned between two flanking towers, with a third tower rising above, forming a stylized architectural composition evoking a fortified gatehouse or city gate motif. The design is enclosed within a double beaded (pearl) border circle. The towers are rendered in the simplified Romanesque manner typical of Carinthian bracteate-influenced pfennige of the early 13th century. |
