| Reverse description | As a true bracteate, this coin is struck on a single thin flan from one die only; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design in shallow negative relief. The rampant eagle, tower, and rosette motifs are visible in reverse as concave impressions. The surrounding concentric raised border on the obverse appears correspondingly recessed on this face. No independent design, legend, or additional decorative elements are present on the reverse, consistent with standard bracteate production technique of the thirteenth-century Austrian and Carinthian minting tradition. |
