| Obverse description | Central field features a small inner circle enclosing a cross pattée with splayed terminals, struck in low relief typical of Ottonian-era hammered coinage. The surrounding legend reads BERNHARDVS DVX, arranged around the inner circle in irregularly spaced Latin capitals. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, with characteristic die wear and weak areas at the periphery consistent with hand-struck medieval deniers. The overall style reflects the Carolingian architectural denier tradition adapted by the Saxon ducal mint. |
