| Obverse description | Facing bust of Duke Henry I of Brabant, helmeted and clad in chain mail, depicted in a rigid frontal effigy characteristic of late 12th-century feudal coinage. The duke holds a sword upright in his right hand and bears a shield in his left, conveying martial authority. The legend DVX appears in the field, identifying the issuer by his ducal title. The style is bold and schematic, with strong relief lines defining the armour and facial features typical of the Mosan die-cutting tradition. |
