Reverse description	A stylized figure of a man is depicted astride a large fish, oriented in profile. The rider's arms are extended forward, grasping the fish's head by means of reins, conveying a dynamic sense of movement. The composition is rendered in the schematic Romanesque artistic style characteristic of early medieval Austrian pfennig coinage. The scene is framed by an outer beaded circle, with a deceptive or pseudo-inscription border encircling the perimeter, imitating a formal legend without conveying readable text.
