| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a rampant panther (the heraldic beast of the Duchy of Austria/Styria), rendered in bold relief in the hammered style typical of early 13th-century Austrian pfennigs. The creature faces left with open jaws, raised forepaws, and a curved body, set within a beaded inner border. The irregular flan and variable strike are characteristic of hand-struck medieval coinage of this period. No legend is present; the design is purely heraldic. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a frontal bust, likely a stylized representation of the duke or a saintly figure, rendered in the crude but expressive manner characteristic of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs of the early 13th century. The figure appears robed, with architectural or decorative elements flanking the bust within a beaded inner border. The irregular flan shows typical characteristics of hammered medieval coinage with no legible legend present. |
