| Obverse description | Central circular field containing a stylized representation of a church façade with two flanking towers. Radiating from the central circle are six semicircular lobes arranged symmetrically, alternately containing a lily motif and a six-petalled rosette. Small pellets occupy the angular interstices between adjacent lobes. The overall design displays the flat, schematic quality characteristic of Bohemian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of the late 12th to early 13th century. |
