| Reverse description | Central device depicts a stylized tower or gateway flanked by two tall, slender turrets or columns, surmounted by a cross-pattée or saltire above the central structure, consistent with Windischgrätz (Slovenj Gradec) architectural iconography. A row of three or four pellets or roundels appears at the base of the central tower, arranged horizontally within a bottom register. The entire central design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by an outer beaded border following the irregular flan edge. The relief is bold and well-preserved, with clear definition of the architectural elements despite the characteristically crude hammered technique of the period. |
