| Obverse description | Obverse displays a stylized facing or profile bust, heavily worn and struck on an irregular flan typical of 13th-century hammered coinage from the Lombard region. The field is flat and largely featureless due to circulation wear, with the design rendered in a crude, archaic style characteristic of medieval Italian municipal issues. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading + AVUVS - VSUE in Latin characters, referencing the city of Pavia (PAPIA). The overall execution reflects the limited die-cutting technology of the period, with the legend partially visible along the coin's periphery. |
