| Obverse description | Crude hammered field bearing a schematic architectural or heraldic device at centre, rendered in low relief characteristic of mid-14th century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The central motif appears to comprise a square or shield-like element flanked by crescent or pellet ornaments, with additional pellets arranged in the lower field. The flan is irregular and slightly cusped at the edges, consistent with hand-cut planchets of the period. No legible inscription is present, the design relying entirely on symbolic imagery. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting conventions of the Albertinian Duchy of Austria under Duke Albert II. |
