| Obverse description | Facing bust of a crowned ruler depicted in a schematic, stylised manner characteristic of 13th-century Austrian bracteate coinage. The figure wears a pointed crown or mitre-like helmet with a central chevron ornament, flanked by lateral projections suggesting ear-guards or pendent lappets. The facial features — large round eyes, a broad nose, and a small mouth — are rendered in a bold, archaic style. The bust is contained within a double raised circular border, with the broad flat flan typical of bracteate manufacture. No legend is present; the design fills the central field without inscriptions. |
