| Obverse description | Two ecclesiastical croziers (crooks) displayed outward-facing and crossed or side by side within the field, with a rosette positioned above between the crook heads and a crescent moon below. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic relief typical of medieval Austrian bracteate-influenced pfennigs. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hammered production. |
