| Reverse description | Architectural representation of a fortified city gate, featuring a central arched gateway flanked by two towers, all rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of Friesach-type bracteate-influenced pfennigs. Above the gate rises a prominent crenellated central tower, evoking the walled town of Friesach. The entire design is enclosed within a double beaded border circle. |
