One last uniface coin I'm looking to get an ID on. This one reminds me of some of the Austrian hand hellers I've seen, but it kinda looks like a closed fist. Maybe not a hand or fist at all, but I'm not sure. Not much to go on, so I'm hoping someone here recognizes it!

This one took me a minute as my eyes were immediately drawn to the craggly line rather than the spaces inbetween, but this is a pattern of three Austrian shields alternating with three fleurs-de-lis. Of the six design elements, the shield at 5:30 to 6 o'clock is most complete.

As with your other coin, here is a screenshot from "Silver Pfennigs and Small Silver Coins of Europe in the Middle Ages" by Ruckser & Rodrigues.
