| Beschrijving voorzijde | A walking lion passant in low relief occupies the lower portion of the field, rendered in the crude hammered style typical of mid-13th century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. Above the lion, a triangular Austrian shield with horizontal bar is depicted, the heraldic device serving as the primary dynastic identifier. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, characteristic of hand-cut planchets of the interregnum period. No legend or inscription is present, the design relying entirely on heraldic imagery. The overall composition reflects the transitional numismatic style of the Austrian Duchy during the interregnum between the death of Frederick II and the establishment of Ottokar II's rule. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a faint incuse or weakly struck impression, consistent with the single-die hammered technique employed for thin silver pfennigs of this period. Ghosted outlines of the obverse design elements — principally the shield and lion motif — are visible as a counter-relief, a feature common to bracteate-style coinage of the Austrian Duchy in the 13th century. The surface shows natural die wear and flan irregularities, with no distinct secondary design, legend, or mint mark discernible. The field is otherwise flat and unadorned. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick II of Austria died at the Battle of the Leitha in June 1246 without a male heir, extinguishing the Babenberg line and throwing the duchy into a succession crisis that lasted five years. During this interregnum, minting authority fragmented across competing claimants and regional administrators, with Enns and Wiener Neustadt among the sites continuing to strike small silver coinage in the absence of any recognized duke. The attribution of individual pieces to one mint over the other remains unresolved for most specimens.
