| Obverse description | Schematized frontal head or face in low relief, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, the whole surrounded by four outward-arching lobes or arches forming a quatrefoil frame. Small decorative elements, possibly stylized busts or foliate motifs, are positioned between each arch. The design is characteristic of the crude, anonymous bracteate-influenced coinage of the Bishopric of Brixen in the late Romanesque period, with strongly abstracted facial features rendered in a flat, primitive style. |
