| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Agnus Dei motif — the Lamb of God — shown in profile walking to the right, rendered in a stylized, linear Romanesque manner. A staff or cross-headed scepter rises from the lamb's back, a common devotional symbol on contemporary European coinage. The body of the lamb is depicted with dotted or beaded detailing suggesting fleece. A debased Latin legend, largely illegible due to the schematic letterforms typical of this issue, encircles the design in the outer border. The composition reflects the strong ecclesiastical influence on Danish royal coinage of the Sven Estridsen period. |
