| Obverse description | Central six-pointed star set within a beaded inner circle, with the abbreviation AMB positioned in the field surrounding the star, referencing the Amiens mint. The outer border is formed by a beaded or toothed circle, typical of 12th-century Flemish hammered coinage. The circumferential legend reads PHILIPVS AMB, identifying the issuer Philip I of Alsace, Count of Flanders, and the mint of Amiens. The execution is characteristic of the crude but stylized hand-struck technique of the period. |
