| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate type struck on a thin, irregularly shaped silver flan. The central design depicts a standing figure, likely a duke or ruler, shown frontally with a rounded head and stylized body rendered in low relief characteristic of 13th-century Austrian bracteate coinage. To the right of the figure stands a schematic representation of a fortified tower or castle gate, a heraldic emblem associated with the mint town of Völkermarkt. The entire composition is enclosed within a raised double-ring border. The design is bold and schematic, consistent with the provincial bracteate tradition of Carinthia under Ottokar II. |

Ottokar II of Bohemia controlled Carinthia from 1269 following the extinction of the Spanheim dynasty, and these bracteates were struck during his brief overlordship before his defeat and death at the Battle of Marchfeld in 1278 handed the region to the Habsburgs. The Völkermarkt mint — one of several active in Carinthia under Ottokar — produced these thin, single-sided pfennigs as the dominant small-denomination currency of the region, a minting tradition inherited from earlier Carinthian practice and entirely distinct from Bohemian coinage conventions Ottokar employed elsewhere in his sprawling but ultimately unstable dominion.
