| Reverse description | As a true bracteate, this coin was struck on a single thin flan from one die only; the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse type. The enthroned royal figure, crown, orb, and sceptre are all visible in negative relief, with the toothed border likewise appearing in intaglio. The thin silver flan shows typical bracteate curvature and slight irregularity at the edges consistent with hand-hammered production of the Altenburg mint in the Hohenstaufen period. |
