| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle and an outer border of alternating crosses and pellets, a winged lion passant to left, its tail curled upward, surmounted by a facing crowned royal bust with flowing hair, rendered in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of Swabian bracteate coinage. The crowned effigy displays a frontal face with stylized features, wearing a crown, and appears to emerge directly from the lion's body, symbolizing imperial authority. The design fills the circular field with no inscription, consistent with anonymous bracteate issues of the Überlingen mint under Frederick II. |
