| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a high-relief medieval court scene in which a kneeling crowned figure, attended by robed courtiers, raises his hands toward a standing noblewoman gesturing in authority, with architectural elements visible in the background. The composition evokes a ceremonial or diplomatic encounter rendered in a Gothic manuscript style. The field is mirror-polished, contrasting with the frosted relief figures. |
