| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a crowned ruler, depicted from the waist upward in Romanesque style, holding a sceptre or lance in the right hand and what appears to be a palm branch or similar attribute in the left. The figure is rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate technique, with stylized drapery and pellet ornaments flanking the central image. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a Latin legend along the outer border, partially legible due to the irregular flan and edge chipping. |
