| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized panther passant facing left, rendered in the bold, simplified manner typical of Austrian medieval hammered silver coinage. Small stars or pellets are visible in the field outside the inner circle, distributed around the creature. The design is slightly weakly struck in areas due to the irregular flan, with no surrounding legend. The border consists of a beaded or toothed outer ring consistent with the Enns mint style of the early thirteenth century. |

| Additional information |
Leopold VI ruled Austria and Styria simultaneously from 1194 until his death in 1230, a consolidation that gave him the resources to pursue crusading ambitions — he participated in both the Fifth Crusade and campaigns against the Albigensian heretics in southern France. The deniers struck under his authority reflect a mint system still largely decentralized, with output distributed across multiple ducal mints rather than concentrated at a single facility.
Luschin's classification of this type as 18a distinguishes it from closely related variants by specific die characteristics documented in his foundational work on Austrian bracteate and denier coinage.
