| Reverse description | The reverse presents a heraldic composition within a plain inner circle, featuring a centrally placed patriarchal or processional cross above what appears to be a shield or escutcheon, flanked by stylized foliate or palm branch motifs rendered in low relief. To the right, a partial figure — possibly an eagle or wing device — is visible, consistent with ecclesiastical or territorial heraldry of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. The surrounding border carries the partial Latin legend + EPI[.]S.ACH, referencing the Bishop of Seckau (Episcopus Seccaviensis) or a related ecclesiastical authority. The irregular flan and variable strike are characteristic of hammered silver pfennigs of the early 13th century. |
