Obverse description	Frontal human head centered beneath an arched dormer window terminating in a ring, with two confronted birds perched atop the arch, each grasping the ring in its beak. The composition is enclosed within a double beaded circle, with a decorative motif filling the outer field between the two concentric pearl borders. The style is characteristic of early Austrian bracteate-influenced denars of the Babenberg period.
Obverse script	Latin

Reverse description	Armored figure depicted in profile facing right, holding an extended lance and a shield in his right hand, rendered with notably elongated body proportions typical of Romanesque coinage. A star occupies the field behind the figure. The design is framed by a double beaded border enclosing a pseudo-legend or deceptive inscription in the outer field, imitating legible lettering but without coherent meaning.
