| 正面铭文 | S NI VIELLA PRVDENS (Translation: Nivelles.) |
| 背面描述 | The reverse features a cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Greek letters alpha (Α) and omega (Ω) placed respectively in the first and fourth cantons, referencing the divine epithet from the Book of Revelation. A circular Latin legend invoking Saint Gertrude as Virgin surrounds the inner circle. The cross arms are boldly rendered, and the overall composition follows the standard Ottonian-Salian ecclesiastical denier type. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat weak in areas, consistent with hammered abbatial coinage of the period. |

| 附加信息 |
The Abbey of Nivelles — a collegiate chapter founded in the seventh century under Gertrude of Nivelles — held minting rights as part of its broader immunities granted by Carolingian and later Ottonian rulers. This denier falls within the reign of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor, a period during which ecclesiastical minting in the Low Countries operated with considerable autonomy, often producing issues that circulated more locally than imperially sanctioned coinage. Witte's attribution remains the primary reference anchor for this type, with Kluge's Karolingische catalog situating it within the broader Carolingian-tradition ecclesiastical series.
