| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed bust-length portrait of Duke Leopold V of Austria in full medieval chainmail and plate armor, facing slightly left, holding an ornate sword upright before him with both gauntleted hands. The figure wears a riveted conical helm with a mail coif, and heraldic motifs are visible in the background field to the right. The date 1194 — referencing the year Leopold V captured Richard I of England and the founding context of the Babenberg dynasty's wealth — is inscribed in the upper left field in a gothic-style numeral. |
