| Reverse description | A frontal enthroned figure of the Patriarch, depicted in hieratic, symmetrical style typical of medieval ecclesiastical coinage, wearing a miter and liturgical vestments. The right hand holds a processional cross and the left hand holds a book or Gospel, with the figure's feet visible below the throne. The legend flanking the enthroned patriarch reads BERTOLDVS P., identifying the issuer as Berthold, Patriarch of Aquileia (1218–1251). The composition is divided vertically by the central figure, with the inscription distributed across both sides of the field. The design reflects the Romanesque artistic conventions prevalent in northern Italian ecclesiastical coinage of the early 13th century. |
