| Obverse description | Facing bust of Bertha of Swabia, depicted in high relief in the Romanesque style, wearing a crown or diadem and veil with draped garments. The figure holds a sceptre or staff to the left and raises the right hand, possibly in a gesture of authority. The legend BERTA appears in the field to the left of the bust. The portrait is enclosed within a plain inner border, with the characteristic irregular flan edge typical of hammered medieval deniers. |
