| Obverse description | Central device comprising a stylized royal crown with three fleurs-de-lis finials and pellet ornaments adorning the upper band, all rendered in relief against a flat field characteristic of bracteate production. The crown's arched base displays incuse linear detailing. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded or pellet border near the irregular hammered rim. No legend is present; the composition is entirely emblematic, reflecting the minimalist iconographic convention of late medieval Danish pennings. |
