| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Archbishop Henri I d'Assel within a beaded inner circle, depicted holding a crosier in his left hand and a book (Gospel) in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a schematic Romanesque style typical of early 12th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust within the beaded border. |
