| Reverse description | A frontal bust of Christ is depicted in the central field, rendered in the schematic, hieratic style typical of early medieval Iberian ecclesiastical coinage. The face is broad and stylized, with rudimentary facial features suggested by incuse lines; the nimbus or collar is indicated around the head. The figure appears draped, with arms partially visible at the sides, consistent with the Christological imagery used on contemporary Catalan dineros. The overall execution is rough, reflecting the primitive die-cutting techniques of the period. |
