| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an elaborate Gothic cross composed of four interlocking pointed lobes or trilobe forms, creating a floriated cross-rosette design with a small central pellet at the intersection. The cross arms are defined by raised linear ridges, with lunate or crescent-shaped voids filling each quadrant, imparting a striking geometric, almost compass-star appearance. The central device is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a toothed or beaded border. The peripheral legend in uncial Gothic lettering runs clockwise between the beaded border and the outer rim, which shows the characteristic irregular flan edge typical of hammered medieval coinage. A suspension hole is visible at approximately the nine o'clock position, indicating later use as a pendant. |
