| Obverse description | Central four-petalled flower motif rendered in bold relief, with each petal radiating symmetrically from a small raised central boss. The petals are flanked by arrow- or spear-shaped projections pointing outward toward the irregular coin periphery, giving the overall design a star-like or compass-rose appearance. The entire device fills the flan, with no legend or inscription present on this side. The surface exhibits the characteristic uneven texture and irregular edge typical of hand-struck hammered coinage. |
