| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents an incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the eagle, flanking towers, and lion in sunken relief as an inevitable consequence of the single-die hammering technique used in bracteate production. The surface is plain and unadorned, with no additional inscriptions or devices. The thin silver flan exhibits the characteristic irregular edge profile common to Swabian pfennig bracteates of this period. |
