| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a standing figure, likely a margrave or ecclesiastical authority, shown in three-quarter or frontal stance with robes rendered in stylized drapery folds characteristic of Romanesque numismatic art. The figure appears to hold a sceptre or staff in one hand, with the overall design enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A partial Latin legend surrounds the outer field, though the irregular flan and die shift render most lettering fragmentary and difficult to transcribe. The strike is typical of early twelfth-century Austrian hammered coinage, with uneven relief and a somewhat off-center placement. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold III — later canonized in 1485 and named patron saint of Austria — ruled during a period when the Babenberg margraves were consolidating authority and minting rights across their territories. These thin bracteate-style pfennigs circulated within a localized monetary zone; their broad, fragile fabric meant survival rates were poor, and most examples that reach the market today carry significant peripheral damage or are fragmentary.
