| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross with a small pellet at its centre, the four quadrants each containing a six-pointed star or rosette. The cross is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The surrounding outer field displays a continuous series of crescent or scroll ornaments arranged around the periphery, with small crosses visible at the top and bottom of the outer border, typical of Styrian bracteate-related Pfennig coinage of the late 12th century. |
