Beschrijving voorzijde Central field depicts a stylized eagle displayed with spread wings, rendered in high relief in the characteristic Romanesque bracteate-influenced style of 12th-century Austrian coinage. The eagle's head is shown facing forward with prominent eyes, flanked by large, curling wings with feather details indicated by incised lines. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle bordered by a continuous outer ring of pellets, typical of the Vienna mint's output under the Babenberg dukes.

Aanvullende informatie

Leopold V inherited a duchy still raw from the political fallout of Henry the Lion's expulsion from the Empire in 1180, and his coinage reflects the administrative consolidation that followed. He is better remembered for imprisoning Richard I of England after the Third Crusade — a captivity that generated an enormous ransom, portions of which almost certainly fed directly into the ducal treasury that funded issues like this one.
