| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized Tyrolean eagle facing left, rendered in relief with spread wings and talons visible, set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle, characteristic of the medieval Tyrolean heraldic tradition, occupies the majority of the coin's face. Surrounding the inner circle is a Gothic legend reading COMES TIROL, denoting the County of Tyrol, interrupted at intervals by cross pattée separators. The overall design reflects the bold, somewhat crude artistry typical of 13th-century hammered coinage from the Alpine region. |
