| Descrizione del dritto |
Within a beaded inner circle, a double-headed eagle displayed, rendered in the Romanesque style typical of 12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The two heads face outward to left and right respectively, with stylized wings and talons visible in the lower field. The design is boldly struck in high relief against a plain field, with the irregular flan edge characteristic of hammered medieval silver. |

Within a beaded inner circle, a crowned lion passant or rampant to the left, depicted in a highly stylized Romanesque manner. The crown is rendered with a simple arched form atop the lion's head, and the body is shown with schematic musculature typical of 12th-century Austrian numismatic art. The design occupies the majority of the field, with the irregular flan edge visible at the periphery. |
