| Reverse description | Architectural motif depicting a crenellated city wall with a central tower rising above the battlements, flanked on either side by a globule or ball ornament in the field. The wall is rendered in a schematic, flat style typical of Carinthian medieval hammered coinage, with horizontal courses suggested by incised lines. A small globule or pellet appears below the central structure, all contained within a plain or beaded border on the irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
Bernard II ruled Carinthia through a period of sustained conflict with the Archbishopric of Salzburg, a rivalry that shaped the fiscal demands placed on his mints. The denier output of this period reflects emergency striking rather than prestige production — thin, often irregular flans punched from silver of inconsistent fineness as the duchy scrambled to fund military obligations and feudal obligations simultaneously.
