| Reverse description | Architectural facade depicted in schematic Romanesque style, representing the Cathedral of Cologne, with a prominent arcaded structure showing a series of vertical pillars and horizontal registers suggestive of the cathedral's nave and towers. Above the structure, two flanking tower-like elements are visible with small globular finials, and a central element rises between them. The composition fills the field in a flat, hieratic manner consistent with mid-12th-century Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage. No inscription is present on this reverse, typical of the half-obol denomination of this series. |
