Denier Bracteate - Henry I

正面描述	Central design featuring a frontal bust of Abbot Henry I set within a crutch cross, the arms of the cross dividing the field into four quadrants. The abbot is depicted in ecclesiastical vestments, holding a crozier in one hand and a cross-staff and book in the other, emblematic of his abbatial authority. The cross arms terminate in decorative finials, with pellets and scrollwork ornaments filling the intervening spaces. The surrounding field is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, beyond which a Latin legend reads HEINRIC. VS. ABBAS. PIGAVEI, identifying the issuer. The coin exhibits the characteristically thin, one-sided fabric of a bracteate, struck in the Romanesque artistic style typical of mid-twelfth-century Saxon ecclesiastical coinage.
