| Obverse description | Central field depicts a seated figure, likely a bishop or ecclesiastical dignitary, shown frontally in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of 13th-century bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. The figure appears enthroned, with vestments rendered in crude but expressive relief. Surrounding the central device is a beaded or rope-like border encircling the design. The partial legend, reading (...) ARD9, refers to the abbreviated name of Bishop Bernhard (Bernardus), struck in Latin characters. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting technique typical of episcopal minor coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. |
