| Obverse description | A bold pattée cross with a pellet or annulet in each angle occupies the central field, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend, reading IVO COMES, is distributed around the circumference in Roman capitals, identifying the issuing count. The overall style is characteristic of 12th-century French feudal hammered coinage, with irregular flan edges and somewhat crude but legible letterforms. |
