| Obverse description | Crowned facing bust of Emperor Henry V rendered in the crude, stylised manner characteristic of early 12th-century Ottonian-Salian bracteate-related coinage. The imperial effigy is depicted with a beaded crown and schematic facial features, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field bears the Latin legend HENRIVS R, identifying the ruler as King Henry. The relief is bold and flat-hammered, with the irregular flan lending an archaic, artisanal quality to the portrait. |
