| Obverse description | Facing frontal bust of a bishop or ecclesiastical figure depicted in a highly stylized Romanesque manner, wearing a mitre with decorative hatching, flanked by scrolling foliate or tendril ornaments on either side. The figure is shown with schematic facial features including large circular eyes and a broad nose, with a collar or vestment indicated below. The central design is set within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a prominent outer border of large raised pellets. The overall composition reflects the flat, single-sided bracteate technique characteristic of southwestern German ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. |
