| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a crowned emperor enthroned, depicted in a highly stylized, archaic manner characteristic of 13th-century Germanic bracteate-adjacent coinage. The ruler is shown facing, wearing a crown with visible finials, and holds a patriarchal cross in his left hand and a fleur-de-lis scepter in his right. The figure is rendered with a broad, flat face, dotted garment detailing, and schematic body proportions typical of Hohenstaufen-period die engraving. The design occupies the full field of the irregularly shaped flan, with no surrounding legend. |
