| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant to the right, depicted above a crescent moon with upturned horns, struck in the characteristic single-sided bracteate technique producing a mirror-image relief on the reverse. The lion is rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner consistent with the heraldic tradition of the Welf dynasty. The outer border is composed of a series of thick raised pellets forming a continuous ring that frames the central device. |
