| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Count Albert II facing right, rendered in the crude yet expressive Romanesque style typical of mid-11th century Low Countries coinage. The effigy displays schematic facial features with a prominent diadem, set against a flat, unadorned field. The surrounding legend reads ALBERTVS, partially visible around the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan. The overall execution reflects the hand-struck hammered technique, with characteristic weak areas and uneven relief across the surface. |
