| Obverse description | Christ Pantokrator depicted enthroned in full frontal Byzantine style, wearing nimbus with cross pattée; annulets positioned to the right and left of the halo serve as decorative field elements. The figure is rendered in the flat, hieratic manner characteristic of Romanesque ecclesiastical coinage strongly influenced by Byzantine iconographic conventions. Drapery folds are indicated by incised parallel lines across the garment. The overall composition is contained within the irregular flan typical of eleventh-century Danish hammered silver issues. |
