| Obverse description | Frontal half-length effigy of an archbishop vested in pontifical robes and mitre, holding a crozier in one hand and a book (Bible) in the other. The figure is rendered in a stylised Romanesque manner typical of medieval ecclesiastical coinage. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central device within a beaded or plain border. |
