| Reverse description | The reverse displays a symmetrical architectural or heraldic composition centered on a large orb or globus, flanked on either side by tower-like turret forms, with a prominent six-pointed star motif rising above the central element. The design is rendered in bold, flat relief typical of 13th-century hammered pfennigs from the Austrian States, with a stark, almost emblematic quality. Flanking pillar or column elements frame the central group, lending the composition a gateway or fortress-like appearance. No legible inscription is present on the reverse. The irregular silver flan exhibits edge cracking and surface marks consistent with medieval hand-hammered production. |
