| Reverse description | A panther passant to the left depicted in a stylized, archaic manner, with a ring or annulet positioned behind its neck as a distinctive heraldic attribute. Rosette ornaments punctuate the field in the spaces between two concentric circles of linear border, framing the central device. The flat, incuse-like relief and summary execution are characteristic of hammered Austrian pfennig coinage of the Babenberg period. No legend or inscription appears on this side. |

| Additional information |
Leopold VI ruled Austria from 1198 following the death of his brother Frederick I, and the Enns mint was among the most active ducal minting sites during his tenure — a period when Austrian coinage was being rationalized after decades of fragmented local production. These thin bracteate-style pfennigs circulated alongside the expanding river trade on the Enns and Danube corridors, which Leopold actively promoted through toll privileges and market charters.
CNA B107 is a well-documented type, but attributions within the 1190–1210 bracket remain debated, as some specimens may predate Leopold's accession and belong to his father's final issues.
