| Obverse description | Facing half-length effigy of a ruler or bishop set within a stylized architectural frame, depicted frontally with the head positioned beneath a rounded arch or church facade flanked by two towers. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, Romanesque style with schematic facial features. A cross surmounts the central gable above the head. The entire design is enclosed within multiple concentric raised border rings characteristic of bracteate coinage, with no legend present in the field. |
