| Obverse description | A stylized castle with three crenellated towers occupies the central field, the tallest tower rising from the center flanked by two slightly shorter flanking towers, all rendered in high relief characteristic of bracteate coinage. Beneath the castle, a pointed arch or gabled base contains a six-petaled rosette in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner ring and a pronounced outer beaded border. The composition is bold and schematic, reflecting the Swabian bracteate tradition of the late 13th century. No legend or inscription is present. |
