| Obverse description | A heraldic fleur-de-lis occupies the upper portion of the field, surmounting a crenellated arch rendered in low relief. Beneath the arch, a series of diagonal rafters or roof timbers is depicted, characteristic of the architectural motifs associated with Friesach-type bracteate pfennigs. The design is executed in the hammered style typical of 14th-century Austrian regional coinage, with bold but somewhat irregular relief due to the thin flan. No legend or inscription is present. |
