| Obverse description | Saint Stephen depicted kneeling to the left, his crowned head breaking into the outer legend at the top of the coin. At approximately the 11 o'clock position within the legend, the Hand of God appears in blessing. The figure is rendered in the medieval hammered style typical of Metz episcopal coinage, with the saint's posture and crown serving as the principal identifying elements of the field design. |
