| Obverse description | 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. |
