| Reverse description | A stylised representation of three church towers or turrets in a row, rendered in the flat, linear Romanesque manner typical of Friesach pfennigs; the central tower is larger and surmounted by a cross, with flanking towers of lesser height also bearing cross finials. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the irregular edge of the hammered flan visible beyond. No legend is present on the reverse. The overall design is consistent with the architectural motifs associated with the ecclesiastical mints of the Salzburg archdiocese and their Carinthian dependencies. |
