| Obverse description | Within a beaded border enclosing a raised inner circle, a crowned lion passant to the right with a distinctive hook-shaped tail curled upward, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner. The heraldic lion is depicted in low relief with granular detailing on the body suggesting a mane and muscular form. The composition fills the central field of this thin, single-sided bracteate flan, characteristic of medieval German pfennig coinage of the Staufen period. |
