Obverse description Facing bust of Alfonso VII depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner, wearing a pointed crown or helmet with decorative elements, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The ruler's face is rendered frontally with schematic features characteristic of early medieval Iberian coinage. The surrounding legend reads X TOLETVLA, referencing the mint city of Toledo. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the period.
