| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Heribert, patron of Cologne, depicted in episcopal vestments with miter, raising his right hand in benediction and holding a crozier in his left hand. The saint stands within a plain inner field, his robes rendered with fine drapery detail typical of late medieval die engraving. A circular legend in uncial Gothic script encircles the figure, invoking the saint by name and title. The composition follows the established iconographic tradition of the Cologne archiepiscopal coinage of the period. |
