| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized facing bust of Alfonso VII in a primitive Romanesque style, with schematic facial features including pellet eyes and a broad nose. The figure appears to wear a crown or regal headdress, and the bust is flanked by partial decorative elements in the field. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of 12th-century Iberian mints. The partial circular legend referencing LEGIONIS (León) runs along the periphery. The flan is irregular and the overall strike is off-center, typical of this period's production. |
