| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal bust of a crowned abbess or sainted figure in high relief, rendered in the Romanesque style characteristic of late 11th- to early 12th-century ecclesiastical coinage. The figure is depicted facing forward with a nimbus or crown, the drapery executed in schematic parallel folds radiating from the shoulders. The bust is contained within a beaded or dotted inner circle, with a partially legible Latin legend in the surrounding field. The artistic treatment reflects the workshops associated with the imperial abbeys of Saxony during the Salian period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold cross pattée centered within a plain inner circle, the four arms of the cross extending to the ring, with pellets or wedge-shaped ornaments filling the angles between the arms. The overall design is typical of Ottonian and Salian ecclesiastical bracteate-precursor coinage from Lower Saxony. A partial Latin legend is visible in the outer field around the inner circle. The relief is moderately high, consistent with hammered production from a monastic mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gandersheim was one of the most politically assertive imperial abbeys in the Ottonian and Salian periods, holding mint rights that predated many secular lords in the region. The right to strike coin was granted by the crown and periodically contested — the late eleventh century saw particularly sharp disputes between the abbesses and the bishops of Hildesheim over jurisdictional authority, a conflict that ran parallel to the broader Investiture Controversy tearing apart the German church.
Anonymous deniers of this type carry no abbess name, which likely reflects institutional rather than personal issuance during a period of disputed or transitional leadership.
