| Obverse description | Central field bearing the monogram or cipher of Herbert, composed of interlaced letters forming a decorative device, enclosed within a raised inner beaded circle. The surrounding annular legend reads COMES CENOMANNIS, identifying the issuing authority as the Count of Le Mans, separated by a cross pattée at the inception. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and bold, somewhat crude lettering typical of hammered feudal billon deniers of the eleventh to thirteenth centuries. |
