| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold cross pattée with the letters M-E-T-Z distributed in the four quarters formed by the cross arms, identifying the mint city of Metz. The cross is rendered in a robust, slightly irregular hammered style characteristic of 11th-century episcopal coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the bishop's name legend running along the outer periphery within the toothed border. |
