| Obverse description | A stylized hand depicted upon a cross, rendered in the bold, simplified manner characteristic of Ottonian-Salian hammered coinage. The hand, symbolizing ducal or divine authority, is shown centrally positioned over the arms of the cross. The peripheral legend BERNHARDVS, identifying the issuing duke Bernard II of Saxony, runs around the coin within a beaded border. The overall execution reflects the rudimentary die-cutting technique typical of eleventh-century German ecclesiastical and feudal deniers. |
