Obverse description	A lion passant to the right occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic Romanesque style typical of late 12th-century German bracteate-influenced coinage. The animal is depicted with exaggerated musculature and a stylized mane, its tail curling upward behind the hindquarters. Above the lion, a row of pellets or beaded ornaments forms an arc suggesting a crown or architectural canopy. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border that follows the characteristic four-pinched outline of the Vierzipfliger flan. No legend is present; the design relies entirely on the heraldic lion device.
