| Obverse description | Facing crowned royal bust, rendered in the Romanesque style characteristic of early 13th-century German bracteates, flanked on either side by a small pellet or dot. The bust is set within an inner border composed of twelve small rectangular elements, each pierced with a central hole, forming a distinctive decorative ring. The outer periphery of the thin uniface flan is ornamented with ten raised arches, each enclosing a star, creating an elaborate multi-lobed frame around the central effigy. |
