| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a rhombus-shaped (lozenge) border, a shield bearing the Styrian panther passant facing left, depicted with open mouth emitting flames, rendered in a crude hammered style typical of late 16th-century Austrian pfennigs. The last two digits of the date appear above the shield within the upper angle of the rhombus, as visible on the 1584 example where '84' is inscribed. The overall composition is uniface, with the design confined entirely to the obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II ruled Inner Austria — Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola — as a separate Habsburg appanage following the division of Ferdinand I's territories among his sons in 1564. A devout Catholic, Charles spent much of his reign battling Protestant reformers within his own nobility, ultimately issuing the harsh Pacification of Bruck in 1578, which expelled Protestant clergy while temporarily tolerating Lutheran nobles. These tiny billon pfennigs were the lowest denominational unit circulating through that fractious period, struck in large numbers precisely because small-change demand was constant and unaffected by confessional politics.
