| Obverse description | Central device depicting a stylized tree or plant with branching foliage, surmounted by a cross pattée above. The design is enclosed within a beaded or linear inner circle. The surrounding legend reads TOLETVM with a cross stop, identifying the mint city of Toledo. The overall composition is characteristic of the crude, informal style of 12th-century Castilian hammered billon coinage. |
