| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized architectural or ecclesiastical motif, likely a schematic representation of a building facade or church, rendered within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by an ornamental border. The design elements include vertical and horizontal linear structures suggesting columns or towers, characteristic of the Ottonian-Salian artistic tradition in German coinage. The field shows traces of additional decorative ornaments flanking the central motif. The hammered flan exhibits the typical uneven surface and irregular outline expected of mid-11th-century southern German deniers. |
