Obverse description Stylized architectural facade depicting a temple or church with a pitched roof surmounted by a cross, featuring an arched doorway and an arched window in the gable; three pellets arranged horizontally appear below the structure at the base. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat naive relief characteristic of 11th-century Carolingian-influenced hammered coinage. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, the lettering partially retrograde and irregularly spaced due to the hand-struck technique.
