Denier

Obverse description	Crude architectural or ecclesiastical motif occupying the central field, rendered in a highly schematic style typical of early medieval hammered bracteate-influenced deniers. The design features a stylized structure or throne-like element composed of geometric lines and arches, flanked by pellets arranged in groups along the periphery. A small star or annulet device appears in the lower field. The overall composition is contained within an irregular flan with no formal border, consistent with hand-hammered coinage of the Rhenish episcopal mints of the late 11th to early 12th century.

Reverse description	The reverse of this hammered silver denier exhibits a similarly schematic and flat design characteristic of episcopal coinage from the Bishopric of Basel during the late Salian period. Stylized symbols or architectural elements are rendered in low relief with minimal detail, reflecting the rudimentary die-cutting techniques of the period. Pellet borders or groups of pellets may frame the central device. The irregular flan shape and weak strike are typical of circulating deniers produced at provincial episcopal mints in the Upper Rhine region during the late 11th and early 12th centuries.
