| Obverse description | Facing bust of a bishop in pontifical vestments, holding a crozier in his right hand and a rose in his left. The effigy is rendered in a flat, stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of late 12th-century German bracteate coinage. A partial legend in Latin capitals runs around the periphery between two concentric circles, reading [+VILL]A[C], referencing the mint city of Villach. |
