| Obverse description | A lion passant facing right occupies the central field, with an eight-pointed star positioned between the lion's head and tail. A horizontal legend in Latin appears below the device, partially truncated at the coin's edge due to the irregular flan. The design is rendered in a Romanesque style typical of 12th-century Low Countries hammered coinage, with bold, stylised relief work characteristic of the period. |
