| Obverse description | Crowned bust of Emperor Frederick II facing left, rendered in a stylized medieval manner with a simple crown atop the head. The effigy is depicted in low relief typical of hammered coinage of the period, with facial features crudely but expressively struck. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central bust within the field, reading + F IPERATOR BI, abbreviating the ruler's imperial title. |
