| Obverse description | Facade of a building or gate depicted in profile, featuring five columns supporting a horizontal entablature, with a bird facing right perched atop the structure. The composition is flanked on either side by a small cross, all rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of 12th-century Low Countries hammered coinage. The building motif likely represents a stylized rendering of a castle, tower, or civic structure associated with the comital authority of Leuven. |
