| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts a stylized heraldic panther, the traditional emblem of Styria, rendered in a bold, archaic relief characteristic of medieval Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The figure faces left, with exaggerated curved body and prominent claws visible within the irregular flan. The design is executed in the typical late-medieval hammered style, with the device occupying the majority of the flan. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is thin, irregularly shaped, and shows typical striking weakness at the edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick III of Habsburg ruled Styria during a period of contested dynastic control over the Austrian duchies, with brothers and cousins repeatedly partitioning and re-uniting the territories through treaty and force. These small silver pfennigs — bracteate-adjacent in their thinness — circulated in a region that functioned as a transit corridor between the Italian trade routes and the upper Danube, giving even minor denominations meaningful commercial velocity.
The CNA D113 classification places this within a well-documented Styrian sequence, but individual specimens vary considerably due to hand-cut dies and the fragility of such lightweight flans during striking.
