| Obverse description | Stylized bust of Saint Kilian facing right, rendered in a crude but characteristic Ottonian hammered style within a beaded inner circle. The effigy is depicted in profile with schematic facial features typical of late 10th-century episcopal coinage. The circular legend +S-KILIANVS surrounds the central device, invoking the patron saint of Würzburg. |
