| Obverse description | Bareheaded bust of Bishop William I facing right, rendered in crude hammered style, with a crozier depicted before the face and a stylized floral ornament behind, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field bears a Latin legend reading the bishop's name. The portrait exhibits the simplified, hieratic style typical of Ottonian-era ecclesiastical coinage, with schematic facial features and drapery indicated by linear striations. |
