Obverse description Frontal crowned effigy of Emperor Henry IV rendered in crude hammered style, wearing an elaborate diadem or crown depicted with beaded ornamentation. The emperor holds an imperial orb, and the figure is flanked by stylized decorative elements in the field. The portrait is highly schematic and flat, typical of Salian-era German episcopal coinage, with bold linear detailing suggesting regalia and vestments. The surrounding legend reads +HEINRICVS REX, placed along the coin's periphery.
