| Obverse description | Crude hammered obverse depicting a standing or enthroned figure in the central field, rendered in the simplified Romanesque style typical of 11th-century Lotharingian coinage. The design shows a frontal bust or effigy with indistinct facial features and schematic drapery, characteristic of the primitive die-cutting of the period. A cross precedes the circumferential Latin legend. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, with a beaded border partially visible along the rim. The overall execution reflects the rudimentary engraving conventions of early medieval Luxembourg deniers. |
