| Obverse description | A lion passant sinister rendered in bracteate relief, occupying the central field. Below the lion's body, two stars are disposed in the lower field to the left. Six pellets arranged in a group to the sinister side represent the lion's forepaws, a distinctive stylistic convention of this issue. The design is struck in the thin, single-sided bracteate technique characteristic of Lower Saxon coinage of the early thirteenth century. |
