Reverse description Schematic depiction of a church façade with two flanking towers and a central gable surmounted by a cross. The eaves or gutters at the base of the roof terminate in upward-curling horn-like projections ending in a pointed form, a distinctive architectural motif found on Romanesque bracteate-influenced coinage of the period. The building is rendered in a flat, linear style characteristic of Austrian episcopal pfennigs of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. No legend or additional inscription appears in the field.
