| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a bold cross pattée with trefoil or pellet ornaments at the terminals of each arm, set within a raised inner circle or ring border. The cross divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a convex or rounded lobe, consistent with the Styrian bracteate-influenced pfennig style. The design is executed in relief with characteristic irregularity of hand-struck medieval coinage. No legible legend is present; the composition is entirely emblematic. The flan is irregular in shape with slightly ragged edges typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II of Bohemia seized Styria in 1260 after defeating Béla IV of Hungary at the Battle of Kressenbrunn, and these pfennigs were struck during his subsequent administration of the duchy — a period of genuine economic reorganization in which Ottokar attempted to standardize coinage across his sprawling domains. His death at Marchfeld in 1278 ended that project abruptly, and Habsburg consolidation followed within years.
The thin, broad fabric of these bracteate-adjacent pfennigs makes surviving examples prone to creasing and edge splits — a structural issue inherent to the type, not handling.
