| Obverse description | Two crossed croziers arranged in saltire at center, with a ring or annulet to each lateral side and a six-pointed star in the upper field. The design is contained within a plain inner circle, itself enclosed by a beaded or raised outer border. The overall composition reflects the episcopal authority of the issuing bishopric, with the croziers serving as the primary ecclesiastical symbol. |
