| Obverse description | Facing crowned imperial effigy in high relief, the crown adorned with three crosses. The figure's hands are visible beneath the chin, the right hand holding a palm branch and the left hand grasping a curved cross-scepter. Ten crescent ornaments are arranged around the periphery of the inner field. The design is executed in the characteristic thin-flan bracteate technique, with concentric raised rings framing the central motif and an irregular scalloped border at the outer edge. |
