| 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 crowned episcopal shield with crozier is visible in intaglio, pressed through from the obverse striking. Partial traces of the beaded border are discernible along the lower arc of the flan. The surface is flat and unmarked by intentional design, consistent with standard bracteate production. The flan exhibits minor edge irregularities typical of medieval hand-struck pfennig coinage. |
