| Obverse description | Facing bust of a bishop or archbishop rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, wearing a mitre and liturgical vestments, positioned centrally within the coin field. The figure holds a crozier to one side, with the design exhibiting the bold, somewhat crude relief characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian hammered coinage. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer margin, partially legible as AoSoSV[...]EpI, likely referencing an episcopal title. The irregular flan and variable strike are typical of Friesach-type pfennigs of this period. |
