| Obverse description | Facing depiction of a three-towered fortified castle or city gate, the central tower surmounted by a decorative finial, flanked by two slightly shorter towers, all rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner. Two six-pointed stars occupy the upper field, one to each side of the central tower. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a prominent outer border of large pellets. The flan is thin and irregular, characteristic of bracteate coinage, with the design struck in high relief on a single side. |
