| Aversbeschreibung | Frontal facing bust of a bishop or ecclesiastical dignitary, depicted in a schematic Romanesque style, holding a pastoral crook (crozier) in one hand and a book (likely a Gospel book) in the other. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, flat manner typical of 12th-century Friesach coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded or lined outer circle forming the border of the field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Friesach, in what is now southern Austria, became one of the most important minting centers in the German-speaking lands during the 12th century, and the coins it inspired — collectively termed "Friesacher Pfennige" — were so widely trusted that they circulated across a vast arc from the Adriatic to Bohemia. This particular obol, the half-denomination, circulated alongside the more numerous pfennig issues and has proven notoriously difficult to attribute with precision; the "undetermined marks" classification reflects ongoing scholarly disagreement about which episcopal or ducal authority authorized individual dies.
The bracteate-influenced fabric of these thin silver pieces makes die identification especially challenging when specimens are worn or bent.
