| Obverse description | Crude architectural or monogram motif at center, likely a stylized depiction of the Magdeburg cathedral or a church facade, rendered in the rough, abstracted manner typical of Ottonian hammered coinage. The design is enclosed within a circular beaded or dotted border. The surrounding field is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production on an uneven flan. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting techniques of late 10th-century German ecclesiastical mints. The legend +MAGADABVRG runs around the periphery in Latin characters. |
