| Reverse description | Frontal facing crowned bust occupying the majority of the field, depicted in the schematic Romanesque manner common to Friesach-type pfennigs of the early 13th century. The figure, likely representing a bishop or secular ruler, wears a prominent crown and is rendered with simplified facial features, including a circular or oval face with stylized eyes. The surrounding field is largely plain, with the design confined to the central crowned effigy. The coin exhibits characteristic irregular flan edges and variable surface texture resulting from the hammered production technique. |
