| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a rampant lion passant within a rectangular shield or frame, rendered in the bold, somewhat stylized relief characteristic of 13th-century Central European hammered coinage. The lion's body faces left with raised forepaws and a clearly articulated head, displaying the heraldic device associated with the Duchy of Merania. Partial Latin legend + PERCHTOLDVS surrounds the design, though the irregular flan causes portions of the inscription to fall off the coin's edge. The overall strike is typical of the bracteate-influenced pfennig tradition of the Austrian States, with shallow but well-defined relief. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic planchet irregularities consistent with hand-cut medieval silver. |

Berthold IV ruled Merania during one of the more turbulent stretches of Adriatic-to-Alpine politics, holding the duchy while the broader Andechs-Merania family was absorbing the reputational fallout from the 1208 assassination of Philip of Swabia — a murder in which family members were implicated. Minting activity under Berthold continued regardless, these bracteate-style pfennigs circulating through a duchy that stretched from Franconia into Istria and Dalmatia.
The CNA Ch21 classification places this squarely within the Kärnten-adjacent issues documented by the Corpus Nummorum Austriacorum.
