| Obverse description | A crowned lion passant occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of late medieval German bracteate-influenced coinage. The lion faces left with the crowned head turned to face the viewer, its body depicted with schematic mane detailing. A small shield, bearing the Palatinate arms (a diagonal band or fess), is positioned at the lion's shoulder. The entire device is surrounded by a ring of raised pellets forming a border, typical of small Pfennig coinage of the Rhenish Palatinate in the mid-fifteenth century. |
