| Obverse description | Frontal bust of the archbishop in high relief, rendered in a schematic Romanesque style characteristic of early 12th-century German bracteates. The effigy displays a stylized head with prominent circular eyes set within a rounded nimbus or mitre-like headdress. Flanking the bust are two processional crosses or sceptre-like attributes, with small star or pellet ornaments scattered throughout the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which fragments of a Latin legend are visible around the periphery. |
