| Obverse description | Central field bears the letters I, B, O, C and D arranged around a small cross pattée, the cross positioned at top center with the letters distributed in the surrounding quadrants. The inscription is rendered in a bold, rudimentary Romanesque style characteristic of mid-11th century episcopal coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered medieval deniers. The design likely constitutes a monogrammatic or abbreviated legend referring to the bishop or the mint authority. |
