| Obverse description | Crude bust of Saint Lambert facing right, depicted in profile with stylized drapery at the shoulder and a bishop's mitre or headdress rendered in archaic Romanesque fashion. The effigy occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan, with the facial features indicated by simple incuse lines characteristic of mid-11th century hammered coinage. The surrounding legend, partially visible due to the irregular strike, reads SCS LANBERTVS, invoking the patron saint of Liège. The overall execution reflects the provincial minting tradition of the Mosan region during the Ottonian-Salian period. |
