| Obverse description | Bracteate-style hammered silver denier of irregular flan, displaying a central cross composed of pellets or annulets in the field, flanked by large Gothic-style letters — likely the initial B repeated — arranged around the cross motif. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of early medieval episcopal coinage, with the letters and pellets scattered across the field in a loosely structured composition. No encircling legend is present; the decoration is entirely contained within the coin's roughly circular boundary. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting and striking techniques typical of Rhenish episcopal deniers of the late 11th to early 12th century. |
