| Obverse description | Detailed relief scene depicting the construction of a medieval cathedral, with numerous figures engaged in various building tasks including laying stonework, hoisting materials, and supervising. A robed overseer stands prominently to the left, directing workers who scale scaffolding and ladders around a partially completed arched stone structure. The scene evokes the building of the Cathedral of Tournai against a deeply recessed field. |
