Obverse description	Facing bust of Count Ekbert II in high relief, depicted with a crown or diadem surmounted by pellets, rendered in the crude but vigorous Romanesque style typical of early twelfth-century Austrian bracteate-related coinage. The face is rendered schematically with prominent eyes and stylized beard, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field is populated with crescent and pellet ornaments distributed at intervals around the bust, reflecting the decorative conventions of the period. No legible inscription is present, the entire design being concentrated on the powerful central effigy.
