Reverse description Architectural facade depicted in a highly schematic Romanesque manner, representing a multi-towered structure — most likely a stylized church or castle — with three prominent cross-topped towers rising above a crenellated or arcaded base. The central tower is the tallest and is flanked by two slightly shorter towers, each surmounted by a cross. A small circle or pellet is visible at the center of the architectural composition, possibly representing a doorway or window. The entire design is executed in low relief on an irregular hammered flan, consistent with mid-12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage.
