| Obverse description | Frontal bareheaded bust of Bishop William I within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the archaic Ottonian style typical of mid-eleventh-century episcopal coinage. The effigy holds a crozier in one hand and a cross-tipped staff in the other, attributes affirming the bishop's ecclesiastical authority. The facial features are stylized and bold, with the figure occupying the full diameter of the inner circle. A Latin legend surrounds the bust within the outer beaded border. |
