| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the cross arms splaying outward in a foliate or heraldic form typical of Romanesque medieval Portuguese coinage. The surrounding legend reads REX SANCIO, distributed around the inner circle within a plain outer border. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hand-struck hammered billon coinage of the late 12th to early 13th century. The overall style is archaic and bold, reflecting the artistic conventions of the Afonsine dynasty's early monetary production. |
