| Obverse description | Central field depicts a mounted duke or warrior in profile facing right, seated upon a prancing horse rendered in the Romanesque stylistic tradition characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The figure wears a crown or ducal headdress and appears to hold a lance or sceptre, with a bird — likely an eagle — perched above or beside the rider, serving as a heraldic emblem of the Babenberg dynasty. The composition is bold and deeply struck in high relief, filling the broad, thin flan typical of the Enns mint pfennig series. No legible legend is present; the design is contained within a raised inner ring border. The overall style reflects the vigorous, somewhat schematic figurative art of Austrian pfennig coinage under Duke Leopold VI. |
