| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a heraldic lion passant facing left, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of late 13th-century Alpine coinage. The lion occupies the central field, its body turned to the left with raised forepaw. Surrounding the central device, a circular legend in uncial Latin script reads: + ALBERTUS COMES, identifying the issuing count. The overall composition is typical of hammered bracteate-influenced deniers of the region. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a six-petalled rosette or flower with a central boss, boldly struck in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The petals are symmetrically arranged and separated by incuse channels, giving the motif a pronounced decorative character consistent with late medieval Alpine deniers. A partially legible circular legend in Gothic lettering surrounds the inner circle, reading fragmentarily as ... MONE ..., an abbreviation of MONETA, indicating the coin's monetary nature. The execution is characteristic of hammered coinage from the County of Görz in the late 13th century. |
