| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a bishop in ecclesiastical vestments, holding a crozier in his right hand and a book in his left. The figure is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner typical of early 13th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced coinage. The design is enclosed within a double circular border, with a partial Latin legend distributed between the two concentric circles. The lettering is fragmentary and partially illegible due to the hammered flan. |

| Additional information |
Rann-type bracteates from Salzburg's archiepiscopal mint occupy a transitional moment in the region's monetary history, when the archbishops were aggressively consolidating economic authority against both secular lords and the broader Bavarian monetary sphere. The joint attribution to Eberhard II and Leopold VI reflects the complex feudal arrangements of the period rather than any co-rulership — Leopold was Duke of Austria, and the pairing on coinage signals a political accommodation, not a partnership.
CNA Ck28 is among the thinner, more fragile strikes of the Rann series, and off-center flans are the rule rather than the exception.
