| Obverse description | A schematically rendered frontal face or head, centrally positioned within the flan, surrounded by a toothed or rayed wheel motif. The design is enclosed by two concentric circular lines forming an outer border. The style is characteristic of early 14th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced Pfennig coinage, with crude but deliberate execution typical of hammered provincial silver issues. |

| Reverse description | Incuse and largely illegible reverse, as is typical of thin hammered bracteate-style pfennigs of this period. A faint ring or annular element is discernible within the legend area, though the overall strike is weak and the design details are not clearly resolved. The surface shows typical wear and die weakness consistent with early 14th-century Carinthian minor coinage. |
