| Reverse description | Facing bust of Saint Vitus (Sanctus Vitus), patron saint of Corvey Abbey, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner with large globular pellets forming a crown or nimbus radiating around the head. The saint's face is depicted frontally with schematic features, surrounded by a beaded inner circle and an outer wreath or rope border. The abbreviated legend SCS VITVS identifies the patron saint in the periphery. The overall design reflects the devotional iconographic conventions of German ecclesiastical pfennig coinage of the late 13th century. |
