| Obverse description | Crowned bust of James I facing left, rendered in a stylised medieval manner with a notably short neck, characteristic of this specific Barcelona issue. The effigy is depicted in profile within an inner beaded circle, with the royal crown rendered in a schematic, angular style typical of 13th-century Catalan hammered coinage. A Latin legend encircles the bust between two concentric beaded borders. The overall fabric is irregular, consistent with hand-struck billon coinage of the period. |
