| Reverse description | The reverse displays faint, poorly preserved traces of a lion passant or rampant facing left, rendered in low relief consistent with the thin hammered flan and characteristic of contemporary Salzburg pfennig coinage. The design is heavily worn and largely indistinct, with only the general form of the heraldic lion discernible against a plain, unlettered field. |

| Additional information |
Konrad IV von Fohnsdorf governed the Archbishopric of Salzburg through a period of sustained conflict with the Habsburg dukes, who were aggressively consolidating territorial control across the Alpine passes. The Preitenfurt mint operated under his authority as part of a broader effort by the archbishopric to assert economic independence against secular encroachment — small silver pfennigs being the practical instrument of that assertion.
The CNA classification places this among the bracteate-adjacent thin pfennigs characteristic of the Salzburg regional tradition.
