| Obverse description | Central device consisting of a three-arched crown rendered in relief, surmounted by a looped finial, resting on a horizontal base with an additional lower register. The crown is positioned centrally within the field and enclosed by a continuous border of raised pellets or bosses arranged in a circle, conforming to the irregular flan edge. The design is characteristic of the bracteate coinage of Danish Reval, exhibiting the bold, simple heraldic style typical of 13th–14th century Baltic penny issues. No legend or inscription is present. |
