| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered silver bracteate-style pfennig depicting a mounted figure, likely a count or ruler, shown in profile on horseback facing right. The rider appears to hold a lance or sceptre upright, rendered in a schematic, flat medieval style characteristic of mid-12th-century Austrian minting. The design is contained within an irregular flan with a slightly scalloped edge. The overall composition is bold but stylistically simplified, consistent with regional coinage of the County of Formbach. No legible legend is present on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Formbach, a small county on the Bavarian-Austrian frontier, produced coinage during a period when minting rights were exercised by local nobility with considerable autonomy from imperial oversight. Ekbert II and his successor Ekbert III ruled during the mid-twelfth century, a period when the Babenberg consolidation of power in Austria was steadily absorbing or marginalizing smaller dynastic houses like Formbach.
The county's line died out shortly after this issue, with Formbach holdings passing through inheritance to the Bavarian dukes. Coins attributable to this final generation of Formbach rulers are correspondingly scarce.
