| Beschrijving voorzijde | A unicorn depicted in profile, with its head turned back to sinister, rendered in low relief within an irregular, unbordered field. The figure is presented in a crude but expressive medieval style typical of Austrian Pfennig coinage of the mid-14th century. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hammered bracteate-style production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albert II ("the Lame") ruled Styria under the Habsburg consolidation that followed the death of Frederick the Fair, whose unsuccessful bid for the German throne had left the dynasty's finances badly strained. These small bracteate-style pfennigs were the workhorse denomination of regional exchange in the Graz mint's output — struck across nearly three decades of Albert's unusually long and stable tenure, which made him one of the more administratively effective Habsburg rulers of the century despite his physical disability.
