| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, a characteristic feature of this thin single-sided coinage technique. The walking lion passant and surrounding legend appear as a shallow negative impression in the silver flan. Multiple concentric incuse rings correspond to the raised ridges on the obverse. The surface retains a fine silver patina consistent with medieval hammered coinage. The incuse relief is well-preserved, confirming the quality of the original die. |
