| Obverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) depicted standing to left with head turned to right, bearing a nimbus (halo); a cross staff rises behind the figure. The entire device is contained within an inner ring, itself encircled by a border of beads (pearl border). The composition is characteristic of ecclesiastical bracteate-influenced Swiss coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. |
