| Obverse description | Nimbed bust of St. Maurice facing forward, positioned above a broad Romanesque building whose ridge ends are each surmounted by a ball finial; the saint holds a cross-staff in his right hand and a palm frond in his left. In the lower field, directly in front of the building facade, appears a prominent eight-spoke wheel, the heraldic emblem of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg. The composition is rendered in high relief in the characteristic bracteate technique, with bold, simplified modeling typical of late 12th-century Saxon die work. No legend is present. |
