| Obverse description | Central field depicts a stylized frontal figure, likely a bishop or ecclesiastical personage, rendered in a highly schematic Ottonian manner characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads + ERNOLDVS, referencing Bishop Bernold of Utrecht, separated by a pellet or cross motif. The die work is crude but consistent with workshop practice of the mid-eleventh century. |
