| Obverse description | Central field features a patriarchal cross with double crossbar mounted on two steps, rendered in the flat, schematic style characteristic of late Komnenian bronze coinage. Flanking the vertical arm of the cross are the Greek letters Α and Δ to the left and Κ and Φ to the right, positioned above and below the horizontal arms respectively, serving as abbreviated nomismatic or workshop notations. The design is contained within a plain border, with the cross occupying most of the available flan. |
