| Obverse description | Thin silver bracteate struck from a single die, displaying a prominent heraldic chevron (rafter) motif within a beaded inner circle. A fleur-de-lis rises from the base of the chevron, centered in the lower field, with three pellets arranged symmetrically beneath it. A small cross surmounts the apex of the chevron, and additional decorative pellets or trefoils appear in the upper field flanking the cross. The design is rendered in high relief characteristic of the bracteate technique, with the entire composition enclosed within a plain raised outer border. |
