| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized urban architecture depicted as a crenellated ring wall with three towers: two projecting from the front facade and one set further back, conveying depth in a flat, schematic manner typical of Romanesque bracteate-influenced coinage. Within the enclosure, a small cross flanked by two pellets or rings occupies the field. Exterior to the wall, the design is bounded by a beaded circle, with an omega-shaped or horseshoe motif placed prominently in the outer field. The overall composition reflects the architectural iconography common to Austrian Pfennige of the early twelfth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The attribution to either Leopold III or Leopold IV reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — the iconographic and stylistic evidence places these bracteate-style pfennigs squarely across a dynastic transition that Austrian numismatists have debated for decades without resolution. Leopold III, later canonized in 1485, was the margrave who founded Klosterneuburg and shifted the Babenberg seat to that location; his son Leopold IV held the march only briefly before his death in 1141. The minting authority between them was never cleanly delineated in surviving documentary sources.
