Obverse description	A bold Greek cross occupies the central field, its four arms extending nearly to the inner border. In each of the four quadrants formed by the cross arms, a pellet and a crescent are arranged symmetrically, giving the design a balanced, heraldic character. The cross is rendered in high relief with broad flat arms typical of Romanesque hammered coinage. The surrounding border consists of a beaded or linear ring conforming to the irregular flan. No legend is present; the design is purely symbolic, consistent with the Heiligenkreuz (Holy Cross) type attributed to Archbishop Eberhard I of Salzburg.
