| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Duke Albrecht II facing left, wearing a visored helmet surmounted by a heraldic crest, depicted in a schematic, high-relief style characteristic of medieval Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The figure is shown from the shoulders upward, clad in chain mail or plate armor with outstretched arms visible at either side. The field is plain and unlettered, with no legend present. The crude but bold die-engraving reflects the hammered coinage tradition of the Vienna mint in the mid-14th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albrecht II — called "the Lame" due to a paralytic condition that confined him largely to Vienna — proved one of the more administratively capable Habsburg rulers of the fourteenth century. His long reign stabilized Viennese coinage after decades of debasement, and the relatively consistent silver content of his pfennigs reflects deliberate monetary policy rather than happenstance. The CNA B 257 type was struck across nearly three decades, making die consistency essentially impossible and individual specimens often attributable only by stylistic comparison.
