| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of a church or cathedral with a conical roof surmounted by a globus or pellet, set within a beaded inner circle. The structure features three arched openings at the base rendered in a Romanesque manner, with the overall design executed in the bold, schematic style characteristic of Ottonian coinage. The legend surrounding the inner circle reads ARGENTINA VOTO in uncial letters, referencing Bishop Uto and the city of Strasbourg (Argentina). The coin's irregular flan and characteristic hammered fabric are consistent with mid-tenth-century episcopal mint production. |
