| Aversbeschreibung | Crudely rendered frontal figure of a bishop or ecclesiastical dignitary depicted in high relief within a beaded or plain inner circle, the figure exhibiting stylized features characteristic of early 13th-century Austrian hammered coinage. The design is executed in the archaic Romanesque manner typical of Carinthian pfennigs of this period, with bold but irregular die-cutting. The irregular flan imparts an overall square-ish outline to the coin, a common characteristic of hand-struck bracteate-related issues from the Bishopric of Gurk. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central architectural or heraldic motif featuring a stylized cross or tower-like structure, flanked by two standing figures rendered in a schematic Romanesque style. A star or rosette ornament appears above the central device, with additional decorative elements in the field. The legend OSCIS runs around or within the design, serving as the principal identifying inscription of this Gurk bishopric issue. The overall composition is consistent with ecclesiastical coinage of Carinthia in the early 13th century, with bold but irregular engraving typical of hammered pfennigs of this era. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Bishopric of Gurk, established in 1072 by Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg, held coinage rights as a suffragan see — an unusual privilege that most subordinate bishoprics never secured. The bracket 1200–1228 covers the episcopates of Dietrich II and Ulrich I, and the inability to attribute this piece more precisely to either suggests the dies offer no distinguishing episcopal indicator.
CNA Cq31 places it within the Carinthian bracteate-influenced pfennig tradition, struck thin and small for regional trade across alpine passes where German and Slavic commercial networks overlapped.
