| Reverse description | The reverse displays a schematic frontal bust or head in low relief within a plain raised border, characteristic of the incuse or partially incuse technique associated with thin medieval pfennigs of the Styrian mint at Graz. The facial features are rendered in a simplified, abstract Gothic manner with limited detail due to the small module and hammered production method. The field surrounding the bust is largely plain and unmarked. No inscription or legend is present on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Ottokar II held Styria from 1260 following the Treaty of Vienna, which partitioned the Babenberg inheritance after Duke Frederick II died without an heir. His Graz issues are among the few numismatic traces of Bohemian administration in the duchy before Rudolf of Habsburg defeated and killed him at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, ending Přemyslid ambitions in the southeast Alpine territories entirely.
