| Obverse description | A crowned helmet is depicted in the central field, surmounted by an eagle displayed in flight to the left, serving as the crest. Flanking the helmet in the field are the initials R and V, identifying the issuing authority of Duke Rudolph IV. The design is contained within a raised outer circle forming the border. The style is characteristic of the Austrian Pfennig tradition of the mid-fourteenth century, with bold, schematized heraldic devices rendered in the hammered technique. |
