Reverse description As a bracteate, this coin is struck from a single die, producing an incuse mirror image on the reverse of the obverse design. The reverse shows the characteristic sunken impression of the obverse composition — the stylized standing figure and tower motif — rendered in negative relief against the smooth silver surface. No additional legends or devices appear on the reverse, consistent with bracteate coinage practice of the period.
