| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of the king in high relief, rendered in the broad-flan bracteate-influenced style typical of 13th-century Styrian coinage. A cross suspended from a ribbon or chain is depicted at the neck, flanked on either side by an upright sword, their hilts visible at the lower field. The design is executed in low relief against a plain, unlettered field, with the irregular flan edge characteristic of hand-struck medieval pfennigs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottokar II held Styria from 1260 until his defeat by Rudolf of Habsburg at the Battle on the Marchfeld in 1278, but these Oberzeiring pfennigs were struck during the earlier, more stable phase of his rule. Oberzeiring itself was one of the most productive silver mining centers in the eastern Alps during the thirteenth century, and the local ore supply gave Styrian pfennigs of this period a noticeably consistent fineness compared to contemporary issues from neighboring mints operating on imported metal.
