| Obverse description | Central design depicting a frontal facing head or mask in the lower register, rendered in a bold, stylized Romanesque manner typical of 12th-century Friesach coinage. Above the head rises a tall, ornate architectural or ecclesiastical element resembling a mitre or tower flanked by curved horns or crescent-like extensions. The flan is irregular and slightly polygonal, characteristic of hammered bracteate-related obol production. The relief is shallow but well-defined, with no surrounding legend. The overall composition reflects the undetermined mint-mark classification associated with early Friesach pfennig series. |
