| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate depicting a stylized frontal view of a Romanesque church or minster, rendered in low relief with characteristic medieval schematic artistry. The edifice features a prominent central portal at the base, flanked by two lateral towers with rounded domed finials, and a larger central tower or gabled roof rising above, suggesting a multi-towered ecclesiastical structure. The architectural details are rendered with simplified but expressive lines, including arched windows and decorative roofing elements. The central motif is set within a raised inner circle, itself surrounded by a broad outer border composed of a continuous row of raised pellets or beads encircling the entire coin flan. The overall design is characteristic of imperial free city bracteate coinage from the Swabian region of the Holy Roman Empire. |
