| Obverse description | Uniface bracteate struck in thin silver sheet, displaying a stylized panther passant in high relief at center, its body rendered in a bold, archaic heraldic manner. A small turret or tower motif appears to the right of the panther, serving as a mint or civic symbol. Two annulet or ringed crests flank the outer field, framing the central device. The entire composition is enclosed within a raised double linear border, characteristic of Carinthian bracteate coinage of the period. The design is executed in the robust, somewhat naive style typical of 13th-century Central European hammered bracteates. |
