| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylized facing head set within a multi-pointed star, the points of which radiate outward to the coin's edge forming a prominent ornamental frame. The face is rendered in a highly schematic medieval style, with a pellet eye and rudimentary facial features indicated by incised lines. The entire design is enclosed within a circular inner border, outside of which the star points project into the field. No legend is visible, consistent with the Viennese pfennig tradition of this period. The flan is irregular and slightly scyphate in character, typical of mid-13th-century Austrian hammered coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is uniface, displaying the negative impression of the obverse die as a raised, incuse rectangle in the center of an otherwise plain, slightly convex flan. This is characteristic of single-sided hammered bracteate-style pfennigs struck in the Vienna mint during the reign of Ottokar II, where only one die was used and the reverse retains only the tool marks and planchet surface texture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II acquired Austria in 1251 by marrying the heiress Margaret of Babenberg following the extinction of that dynasty's male line, then ruled the duchy until Rudolf of Habsburg defeated and killed him at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1276 — one of the most consequential engagements in medieval Central European history. These pfennigs were struck across that entire span of Bohemian dominion over Austria, a period during which Ottokar controlled territory stretching from Silesia to the Adriatic, briefly making him the most powerful ruler in the region.
