Reverse description Winged angel head (seraph) depicted in the lower field, surmounted by a Latin cross. The design is enclosed within a circular beaded border with decorative elements at intervals. The composition is rendered in a bold, simplified medieval style consistent with hammered bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the Bishopric of Gurk.
