| Obverse description | Saint Stephen, patron saint of Halberstadt Cathedral, depicted seated facing, shown in half-length within a crescent or horseshoe-shaped arch, his hands outstretched and holding a broad, horizontally displayed maniple or liturgical vestment. The figure is rendered in the Romanesque style characteristic of 12th-century German bracteates, with stylized drapery and a nimbed head. A circular beaded or dotted inner border frames the central device, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery of the broad, thin flan. |
