| Obverse description | Central field features a displayed eagle with wings spread and head turned, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of 13th-century Tyrolean coinage. The eagle stands facing, with pronounced feather detailing on the wings and tail. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a Gothic Latin legend reading COMES:TIROL: arranged around the periphery. Small floral or pellet stops punctuate the legend. The overall style reflects the influence of Hohenstaufen heraldic traditions on Alpine coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A bold plain cross extends to the full width of the coin, dividing the field into four quarters, with a beaded inner circle intersecting the cross arms to create a wheel-like composition typical of medieval denarii. The legend DE MA¥ RA NO is distributed around the outer margin in Gothic Latin characters, referencing the comital seat of Merano. Pellet or ornamental stops separate the legend segments. The cross design follows the broad-armed style prevalent in 13th-century north Italian and Alpine ecclesiastical coinage, struck on a somewhat irregular flan consistent with hand-hammered production. |
