Obverse description Stylized architectural representation of a church or cathedral within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude but expressive Romanesque hammered style typical of early medieval Italian ecclesiastical coinage. The structure is depicted frontally with schematic geometric forms. The circumferential Latin legend reading POPPO PTH identifies Patriarch Poppo of Aquileia, separated by a cross at the beginning.
