| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle enclosed by a beaded border, a stylized eagle displayed with wings spread and talons visible, rendered in low relief in the crude hammered style typical of late 13th-century episcopal billon coinage. The bird's head faces forward and a small crown or decorative element is discernible above. The surrounding circular legend reads ✠ GVIDO EPISCOPVS, identifying the issuing bishop Guy of Colmieu, with the cross pattée serving as the initial mark. |
