| Obverse description | Hammered bracteate-style pfennig struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan. The obverse displays a frontal standing figure, likely a ducal lord, rendered in a crude Romanesque style characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian coinage. The figure appears robed and holds attributes of authority. The surrounding Latin legend reads +DVX CA - [RISV]nI, referencing the Duke of Carinthia, arranged around the central device with letters partially off-flan due to the irregular planchet. |
