Beschrijving keerzijde	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.

Aanvullende informatie	Leopold V is best remembered for imprisoning Richard I of England in 1192 following a personal dispute that traced back to the sack of Constantinople — though Richard's ransom, an enormous 150,000 marks of silver, flooded the region with bullion and almost certainly influenced minting activity across the duchy during the final years of this issue's production run.
