| Obverse description | Facing bust of Archbishop Willigis rendered in a schematic, early medieval style, depicted frontally within a beaded inner circle. The effigy shows the archbishop in ecclesiastical vestments with stylized facial features. The surrounding Latin legend runs along the outer border of the coin, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The overall artistic execution is characteristic of Ottonian episcopal coinage of the late 10th to early 11th century. |
