Reverse description As a bracteate, this coin was struck from a single die on a thin silver flan, producing an incuse mirror image on the reverse corresponding to the obverse relief design. The reverse therefore shows the negative impression of the lion motif, with no independent design, inscription, or decorative elements. The surface is characteristically concave and unmarked, consistent with standard bracteate production technique of the medieval Lower Saxon minting tradition.
