| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a raised border, two confronted figures facing one another in the upper portion of the field, their bodies turned inward in a stylised heraldic composition typical of Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. Below the two figures, a centrally placed crenellated tower or turret motif is depicted, rendered in low relief characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The figures appear to represent two eagles or lion-headed creatures, consistent with the heraldic imagery associated with the Babenberg dynasty. The overall design is executed in the bold, schematic style of early 13th-century Austrian deniers, with no surrounding legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold VI ruled Austria and Styria simultaneously from 1194, accumulating territorial and political weight unusual even among the more ambitious Babenberg dukes. His reign coincided with the Fourth and Fifth Crusades, in both of which he took active roles — the Fifth Crusade personally. Financing that participation, and the ducal court it supported, required reliable small silver coinage in volume.
CNA B118 sits within a densely populated series; Babenberg bracteate and denier production of this period presents attribution challenges that even specialist collections have not fully resolved.
