| Obverse description | Two facing figures depicted frontally, one striding to the left and the other to the right, their heads turned toward one another in a confronted posture. Between the two figures stands a stylized object resembling the letter E, likely a symbolic sceptre or architectural element. The composition is rendered in the crude, high-relief style typical of Ottonian and early Salian hammered coinage, with bold, schematic forms filling the field. The figures are presented in a hieratic, non-naturalistic manner characteristic of early 11th-century German ecclesiastical and imperial numismatic art. |
