Obverse description Central fleur-de-lis device within a beaded inner circle, rendered in crude but characteristic Romanesque style typical of 11th-century Barcelonan coinage. The fleur-de-lis is depicted with stylized lobes, occupying the majority of the central field. A partial Latin legend encircles the design between the inner beaded border and the irregular coin edge. The overall strike is weak and slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered medieval production.
