| Obverse description | Central cross pattee occupying the majority of the coin's field, enclosed within a plain inner circle with a beaded border. The cross arms are bold and slightly splayed, characteristic of Leonese hammered coinage of the 12th century. The legend IMPERATOR is distributed around the periphery in capital Latin letters, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge. The overall design is executed in a flat, low-relief style typical of Iberian medieval billon coinage. |
