| Obverse description | Frontal crowned bust of Emperor Henry III occupying the central field, rendered in the schematic Ottonian-Salian style typical of mid-eleventh-century Rhenish pfennigs. The imperial effigy is depicted facing, with a diadem or crown visible above the head, and the figure's drapery suggested in broad, stylised strokes characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, partially legible due to the irregular flan and die wear inherent to hand-struck issues of this era. |
