| Reverse description | A bold central cross with expanded arms divides the field into four quarters, each containing a single pellet (bezant), evoking a cross-and-pellets motif within an inner beaded circle (grenetis). The circumferential legend naming the emperor runs around the periphery of the coin, framed by a dotted border. The overall composition is typical of Salian-era ecclesiastical deniers struck in the name of the Holy Roman Emperor. |
