| Obverse description | Within a raised border, two confronted figures facing one another in the upper portion of the field, their bodies turned inward in a stylised heraldic composition typical of Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. Below the two figures, a centrally placed crenellated tower or turret motif is depicted, rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The figures appear to represent two eagles or lion-headed creatures, consistent with the heraldic imagery associated with the Babenberg dynasty. The overall design is executed in the bold, schematic style of early 13th-century Austrian deniers, with no surrounding legend. |
