| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant to left occupies the central field, rendered in low relief in a naive medieval style characteristic of small hammered bracteate-type pfennigs. The tail curls upward and crosses over the body at the hindquarters, forming the distinctive crossed-tail device. The figure is set within a shallow incuse field bounded by the irregular four-pinched flan edge, with no legend or border inscription present. |
