| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Emperor Henry II in regal attire, depicted in a schematic, early medieval style characteristic of Ottonian-Salian coinage. The effigy is shown facing, with stylized facial features and imperial vestments rendered in low relief. A circular legend surrounds the bust, composed of cross-separated letter groups reading II ✠ II ✠ P. The hammered flan exhibits the irregular, slightly concave surface typical of early eleventh-century German denarii. |
