| Reverse description | A bishop's miter is depicted centrally within an inner circle, shown frontally with its distinctive peaked form and decorative internal detail, rendered in the bold, schematic style typical of medieval Danish ecclesiastical issues. The miter symbolizes the episcopal authority of the issuing see of Roskilde. Surrounding the central device is a circular Latin legend recording the date in Roman numerals, separated by a beaded or twisted-wire border. The flan is irregular and the strike shows characteristic unevenness of hand-hammered medieval coinage. |
