| Obverse description | Two rampant panthers (or lions) facing each other in heraldic confronté arrangement, their forepaws raised and bodies set against a crescent or arched base below, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The bold, high-relief rendering of the two beasts is characteristic of the Styrian minting tradition under Ottokar II. The field is plain and unlettered, the entire design framed by a prominent beaded border near the coin's irregular hammered edge. No legend is present, consistent with anonymous bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the period. |
