| Obverse description | A long cross with flared terminals divides the field into four quarters, each containing a small rosette or pellet ornament. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a further beaded border at the coin's edge. The overall style is characteristic of medieval Tyrolean hammered billon coinage, with the cross serving as the primary heraldic device. The irregular flan displays typical characteristics of hand-struck medieval manufacture. |

| Reverse description | A displayed imperial eagle, rendered in a schematic Gothic style typical of Tyrolean medieval coinage, occupies the central field. The eagle's wings are spread and its head faces dexter. A partial Latin legend surrounds the eagle within a beaded border, referencing the comital title of the County of Tyrol. The design is enclosed within a beaded circle, consistent with the hammered billon coinage of the Meran mint during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. |
