| Reverse description | Architectural motif depicted in low relief, showing what appears to be a stylized gateway or city gate surmounted by a tower with a cross finial, set above a crescent or arched element, all within a beaded or plain inner circle. The composition is characteristic of Salzburg ecclesiastical Pfennige of the early 13th century, employing simplified architectural symbolism to denote ecclesiastical authority. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, typical of hammered medieval coinage. The field shows no additional legend. |

| Additional information |
Rann (modern Brežice, Slovenia) served as a secondary minting site for the Archbishopric of Salzburg during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, operating under episcopal authority at a considerable remove from the main Salzburg mint. The joint attribution to Eberhard II and Leopold VI reflects the complex overlapping jurisdictions of ecclesiastical and ducal power in Styria during this period — coinage rights in the region were contested, negotiated, and occasionally shared rather than cleanly held.
CNA Ck29 is among the bracteate-adjacent fractions documented by the Corpus Nummorum Austriacorum for this transitional Alpine coinage phase.
