| Reverse description | The reverse displays two facing stylized bust portraits side by side, rendered in a crude but expressive medieval hammered technique. Each bust is accompanied by decorative scrollwork or foliate elements flanking the figures, with a beaded or rope-like border encircling the design. The composition is characteristic of dynastic double-portrait types found on 13th-century Austrian pfennigs, alluding to the dual authority or consort relationship of the issuing rulers. The flat, irregular flan shows typical die-shift and weakness consistent with hand-struck production. The legend referencing Landstraß appears partially visible around the perimeter. |
