| Obverse description | Enthroned duke depicted in frontal view with crossed legs, holding an upright sword in his right hand while the left hand is raised. The ducal figure is rendered in the Romanesque style typical of medieval Austrian bracteate-related coinage. A circular legend in Latin script appears in the outer field, contained between two concentric circles forming an inner and outer border. |

| Additional information |
Bernhard of Spanheim, Duke of Carinthia from 1202 to 1256, presided over one of the longest and most administratively stable reigns in the duchy's medieval history — long enough that his coinage underwent several stylistic phases, making die attribution within this series genuinely complex. The CNA classification represents a consolidation of types rather than a single emission, and collectors should treat any individual piece as potentially spanning decades of production.
