| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a prominent six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlaced triangles, with a small central pellet at its heart. The hexagram is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a wreath or decorative foliage border rendered in a crude, stylized manner typical of early Iberian medieval hammered coinage. The overall design is executed in low relief with irregular striking, characteristic of 12th-century Portuguese minting practice. |
