| Obverse description | Central field displays a bold cross pattée dividing the flan into four quadrants, each containing a six-petalled rosette or trefoil ornament in low relief. The design is rendered in a simple, robust Gothic style characteristic of Tirolean hammered coinage of the late 14th century. A partial circular legend runs along the outer border, interrupted by the irregular flan edge. The overall composition is symmetrical, with the cross extending nearly to the coin's rim. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a displayed eagle with spread wings, rendered in a flat, angular Gothic style consistent with the Tirolean heraldic tradition of the period. The eagle's body fills the field, with details of feathering and wing structure visible despite the worn hammered surface. A partial circular legend in Gothic Latin characters surrounds the device along the coin's border, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge. The overall style reflects the heraldic conventions of the Habsburg-Tirolean coinage of the late 14th century. |
