| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized heraldic lily (fleur-de-lis) in high relief, flanked on either side by a fish facing inward toward the central motif. The design is rendered in the crude, bold style characteristic of late 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs, with no surrounding legend. The irregular flan and shallow relief are typical of hammered coinage of the Styrian mint at Graz under Albert I. |
