| Reverse description | The reverse displays a rampant panther or lion within a recessed incuse field, consistent with the counter-impression visible on the reverse of this two-sided hammered pfennig. The figure is rendered in low relief with minimal detail, a characteristic feature of thin medieval silver pfennigs struck at Graz during the reign of Albert II. No legend, inscription, or additional decorative elements are present. |

| Additional information |
Albert II ruled Styria during a period of sustained Habsburg consolidation in the southeastern Alpine territories, and his Graz mint was one of several regional operations producing small silver fractions under fragmented local monetary arrangements. The CNA D102 attribution places this firmly within the documented Styrian pfennig sequence, though coins of this type rarely survive with enough surface detail to assign precise dates within the nearly three-decade span.
