| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized facing bust or head within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude, flat relief characteristic of early 12th-century Austrian bracteate-influenced Pfennig coinage. The figure appears helmeted or crowned, with schematic facial features. Surrounding the central device is a further beaded or rope-pattern border. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-cut hammered production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The County of Formbach, a small but strategically positioned lordship in the Inn valley near the Bavarian-Austrian frontier, produced bracteate-style pfennigs under its counts during a period when regional lords were aggressively asserting minting rights against both episcopal and imperial claims. The CNA B34 attribution places this squarely within the coinage of Werinto and Dietrich, two successive counts whose tenures coincided with the turbulent aftermath of the Investiture Controversy, when secular magnates exploited imperial weakness to consolidate local economic authority.
Formbach's mint output was modest, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce.
