| Obverse description | A crowned lion passant to the left, rendered in bold relief characteristic of medieval bracteate coinage, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle. The lion displays elaborately stylized mane and raised forepaws, with the hindquarters shown in a dynamic striding posture. Four pellets are placed symmetrically in the field surrounding the lion, serving as decorative or differentiating marks. The entire design is enclosed within a pronounced beaded border that follows the irregular flan edge. The high-relief, single-sided technique imparts a distinctive convex obverse and corresponding concave reverse impression. |
