| Obverse description | Four confronted lion heads arranged in a cruciform pattern, their muzzles meeting at the center to form a cross. Four small crosses occupy the intervening quadrants between the lion heads. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, with a beaded outer border characteristic of medieval Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. |
