| Obverse description | Facing left, a monk's head depicted in profile within a beaded or incuse line circle, wearing a cowl with a recessed cross struck below on the cowl's surface. The design is rendered in the bold, simplified style characteristic of late medieval Bavarian bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage. |
