| Obverse description | Frontal bust of a bishop or ecclesiastical figure in high relief, shown from the shoulders upward, wearing a mitre with flanking lappets visible at either side of the head. The figure is vested in a decorated cope or chasuble, rendered with a latticed or dotted ornamental pattern across the chest. A large key is depicted beneath the bust, its bow and shaft clearly articulated, serving as the principal heraldic attribute. The design is executed in the characteristic flat, single-sided bracteate style with no border legend. |
