Denier - Godfrey III

Obverse description	Facing bearded effigy of Duke Godfrey III rendered in crude but expressive medieval hammered style, occupying the full field. The face is depicted frontally with a prominent beard rendered in stylized strokes below the chin, wide-set eyes with a central pellet, and a crown or diadem visible at the top of the head with decorative elements. The portrait fills the flan with no surrounding legend, consistent with the non-inscribed deniers of Lower Lotharingia.

Reverse description	A stylized cross surmounting a schematic architectural structure representing a building or church facade, executed in primitive hammered relief. The cross rises from the apex of the building, whose walls and gateway are suggested by simplified geometric forms. A partial legend or inscription appears at the base of the design, partially legible, consistent with the mint name or ruler's title in abbreviated Latin. The overall design is typical of 11th-century Lotharingian ecclesiastical coinage.
