| Beschrijving keerzijde | A decorative cross pattée or voided cross design centered within the coin field, with a central pellet or boss at the intersection of the arms. Four circular rings or annulets are placed in each angle between the arms of the cross, creating a symmetrical quatrefoil composition. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or pelleted border following the irregular contour of the flan. The bold, flat relief is consistent with hammered production technique typical of early medieval Low Countries coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry I ruled Brabant during a period of aggressive territorial consolidation, and his coinage program reflected both his political ambitions and his need to finance them. The obol denomination — half a denier — circulated primarily among the lower strata of market transactions, the kind of small commerce that larger denominations never touched. At 0.28g, attrition was inevitable; most examples that survived did so by accident rather than hoarding.
Witte 34 is among the scarcer attributions in the Henry I series.
