| Obverse description | Within a rectangular architectural frame, a facing angel bust is depicted with stylized wings spread to either side, rendered in a bold, flat relief characteristic of medieval hammered coinage. A fox's head appears below the central figure, serving as a heraldic or symbolic device in the lower field. Two pellets or dots flank the angel bust, accentuating the symmetrical composition. The overall design is enclosed within a circular border, and the flan exhibits the irregular shape typical of Friesach-type pfennigs of the period. |

| Reverse description | An eagle displayed facing right, rendered in a stylized medieval manner with bold, flat relief consistent with hammered Friesach pfennig coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. Scattered pellets and partial letterforms appear in the field around the eagle, likely constituting a fragmentary or partially visible legend. The design is enclosed within a beaded or plain inner circle, and the irregular flan edges are characteristic of the Friesach minting tradition. The overall execution reflects the regional die-cutting style of the Archbishopric of Salzburg under Vladislaus of Silesia. |
