| Obverse description | Central field displays a stylized Gothic architectural motif, likely representing the cathedral or episcopal see of Lausanne, rendered as a triangular gabled structure with a smaller arched portal beneath, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical coinage, with the architectural form rising prominently from the flat field. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads + SEDES LAVSANE, referencing the episcopal seat of Lausanne. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered medieval small silver coinage. The overall execution is bold and slightly crude, consistent with 12th–14th century episcopal mint production. |
