| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two angels facing one another, each supporting a frontal bust — likely representing a soul or holy figure — held aloft between them. Beneath the angels appears a stool-like architectural frame enclosing a T-shaped motif. The composition is framed by an outer border of beaded circles, with a mirage-like decorative element occupying the intervening field. The style is characteristic of Romanesque die-work typical of Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the early twelfth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold III — later canonized in 1485 and adopted as patron saint of Austria — ruled during the period when the Babenberg margraves were consolidating authority over territories that would eventually become the Habsburg heartland. These bracteate-style pfennigs circulated in a monetary environment where local lords struck their own silver with little standardization, and survival in any condition is genuinely uncommon. The thin-flan fabric makes structural integrity the primary concern with this type.
