| Reverse description | A centaur depicted in left profile with head turned back over its shoulder, rendered in the Romanesque artistic tradition common to south German and Austrian minting of the period. The creature holds a battle-axe raised in its right hand and what appears to be a dagger or fish in its left hand, with stars scattered in the open field around the figure. The outer border features illusionary or pseudo-epigraphic writing, imitating a formal legend without conveying a legible text, a decorative convention found on several Austrian pfennigs of this era. |
