| Obverse description | Bracteate-style hammered silver pfennig displaying a bold architectural cross dividing the field into four quadrants, with a central wheel or rosette motif at the intersection. The arms of the cross terminate in stepped or crenellated forms, evoking Romanesque architectural ornament. Pseudo-inscriptions or debased letter-forms occupy the surrounding field, arranged in a roughly circular fashion. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic hammer-struck planishing marks along the broad, thin edges. |
