| Obverse description | Central field features a crowned Austrian heraldic shield displaying the fess (horizontal bar) of Austria, surmounted by a small crown, all set within a beaded inner circle. The double-headed eagle of the Habsburg dynasty is depicted on the shield in low relief, characteristic of the late Gothic hammered coinage tradition. The surrounding legend reads + ALBERTVS ARCHIDVX AVSTRI(e), identifying the issuer as Archduke Albert VI of Austria, rendered in Gothic uncial characters. The overall design is typical of mid-fifteenth century Austrian regional coinage, with the irregular flan reflecting hand-hammered production. |
