| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central facing bust of the duke enclosed within a plain inner circle, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style. Four smaller facing heads are positioned at the cardinal points around the central roundel, creating a cruciform arrangement characteristic of 12th-century Bavarian bracteate-influenced deniers. The field between the heads is plain and unlettered. The overall composition reflects the hierarchical iconography typical of medieval German lordly portraiture. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal seated figure of the duke enthroned, depicted in a stiff Romanesque manner with schematic rendering of drapery and regalia. The ruler appears to hold attributes of authority, likely a sceptre or sword, with the composition filling the broad, irregularly shaped flan. The field is unlettered, consistent with the anepigraphic character common to mid-12th-century Bavarian deniers. The die workmanship is crude but expressive, reflecting provincial minting practices of the period. |

Henry II of Austria — known as Jasomirgott, supposedly from his habitual oath "ja so mir Gott helfe" — struck these deniers during the years he held Bavaria, before Frederick Barbarossa stripped him of the duchy in 1156. That dispossession was partly softened by the Privilegium Minus of that same year, which elevated Austria to a duchy and granted Henry hereditary rights unprecedented in the empire. Bavaria itself passed to Henry the Lion.
The Privilegium Minus is considered a forgery by some scholars, though the weight of current opinion accepts it as genuine.
