| Reverse description | As a true bracteate, this coin is uniface, struck from a single die on a thin flan; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design. The enthroned imperial figure and surrounding decorative elements appear in sunken relief, with the beaded inner circle and outer border visible in negative. The surface shows the characteristic irregular flan edge and slight undulation typical of hammered bracteate coinage from the Altenburg mint. |
