| Reverse description | As a uniface or nearly uniface hammered pfennig, the reverse presents an incuse or blank surface resulting from the single-die striking technique common to medieval Austrian pfennigs of this period. The surface is irregular and uneven, reflecting the hand-hammered production method employed at the Graz mint during the late thirteenth and mid-fourteenth centuries. |

| Additional information |
These small bracteate-style pfennigs were struck at Graz under the Albertine Habsburg line following Albert I's consolidation of Styria after 1282, when the duchy passed to the Habsburgs through inheritance from the last Babenberg claimants. The Graz mint operated with considerable autonomy during this period, and attribution within the series remains genuinely difficult — the CNA sequence groups issues across a seventy-year span precisely because die evidence rarely permits tighter dating.
