| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold, splayed Greek cross with flared terminals, set within a plain inner circle. The arms of the cross are decorated with beaded or rope-like ornamentation at their junctions, giving the design a distinctive Romanesque character. The legend MEINARDVS runs around the periphery in Gothic-influenced Latin majuscules, bordered by a beaded outer rim. The overall style is typical of hammered medieval coinage from the Tyrolean region, with irregular flan edges consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | A displayed eagle with spread wings and detailed feathering occupies the central field, facing forward in heraldic fashion — the dynastic symbol of the County of Tyrol under the Meinhard line. The eagle's body exhibits fine line engraving consistent with 13th-century Tyrolean die-cutting craftsmanship. The circumferential legend + COMES TIROL is rendered in Latin majuscules, identifying the issuer as Count of Tyrol, and is separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. A further beaded outer rim frames the entire reverse design. |
