| Reverse description | Two frontal busts, each surmounted by a ring or nimbus, are positioned side by side above a double-arched architectural wall or arcade, with a crossbar or sceptre-like element between them. The composition, likely representing sainted or ecclesiastical figures, is enclosed within a double beaded border. The rendering is characteristic of the Romanesque die-cutting tradition associated with Friesach-type coinage of the early thirteenth century. The relief is low and the details somewhat worn, typical of hammered issues of this type and period. |
