Reverse description	A mounted horseman depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of 12th-century Austrian pfennigs. The rider appears armed or cloaked, seated upon a striding horse, with the composition enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field contains scattered pellets and partial letter forms from a fragmentary Latin legend along the outer rim, largely illegible due to the irregular flan and hammered technique. The execution is bold but uneven, consistent with the hand-engraved dies of the County of Formbach coinage attributed to the co-rulership of Werinto and Dietrich.
