| Obverse description | Diademed bust of Emperor Henry II facing right, rendered in a schematic early medieval style typical of Ottonian coinage. The effigy is set within a circular legend reading REX HENRICVS, with the lettering distributed around the periphery of the coin. The portrait, though stylized, retains the conventional attributes of royal dignity, including the diadem. The flan is irregular and the strike weak in places, consistent with hammered deniers of this period. |
