Obverse description Central field depicts a rampant lion facing left, rendered in a bold Gothic style characteristic of late 13th-century Central European coinage. The lion is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend reading + ALBERTUS COMES in Gothic script, identifying Count Albert I of Görz as the issuing authority. The strike is irregular, consistent with hammered medieval technique, and the overall relief is moderately high. The field surrounding the lion shows typical flatness and flan irregularities expected of the period.
