| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate type depicting a single-headed eagle displayed with upraised wings, each wing rendered with three stylized feathers. A small escutcheon, representing the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Utrecht, is positioned below the wings in the lower field. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of hammered bracteate coinage, with a plain, unstruck reverse resulting from the single-die striking technique. The irregular flan and crude workmanship are typical of low-denomination ecclesiastical issues of the late medieval Low Countries. |
