| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized architectural motif, likely a schematic representation of a church facade or gate, rendered in the primitive Romanesque manner typical of 11th-century feudal French coinage. The structure features a stepped or arcaded lower portion surmounted by a triangular or gabled pediment, with a small cross at the apex. The surrounding legend reads GEDEFRIDVS COMES, identifying the issuing authority as Geoffrey, Count of Bordeaux, introduced by a cross pattee. The overall execution is characteristic of provincial hammered billon coinage, with uneven strike and irregular flan edges. |
