| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered silver flan of irregular round shape exhibiting a roughly struck figural design, likely a bust or enthroned figure rendered in low relief in the archaic Ottonian-Salian manner. The die-work is bold but imprecise, characteristic of 11th-century episcopal mint production at Konstanz. The flat, uneven field shows typical wear and die-shift consistent with hand-struck coinage of this period. No legible legend is discernible on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Constance was among the most powerful ecclesiastical territories in the medieval German lands, controlling a diocese that stretched from Lake Constance deep into modern Switzerland. Anonymous episcopal deniers of this period were struck under the authority of bishops who held imperial coinage rights — a privilege confirmed and contested repeatedly through the Investiture Controversy, which erupted in full force precisely within this date range.
Kluge Kar#492 places this piece within a closely argued typological sequence; anonymous attribution is the rule rather than the exception for Constance issues of this century, as episcopal mints rarely named their bishop on the die.
