背面描述	Blank, displaying only the incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, an inherent consequence of the single-die hammering technique applied to the extremely thin silver flan. No inscriptions, devices, or decorative elements are present on the reverse, which is standard for bracteate coinage of this period.

附加信息	Walter II of Arnstein, who ruled this small Rhenish county through the mid-twelfth century, is better remembered for founding the Premonstratensian monastery at Arnstein in 1139 — an act prompted, according to contemporary sources, by a vow made after the death of his only son. The county's minting activity was brief; the line died out with Walter II himself, leaving this bracteate among the few physical traces of Arnstein's independent authority.
