| Reverse description | As a true bracteate struck from a single die on an extremely thin silver flan, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design. The crowned royal bust appears in negative relief, with the raised elements of the obverse corresponding to depressions on this face. The thin, irregular flan shows characteristic folding and surface distortion typical of bracteate manufacture. No independent design or legend is present on the reverse, consistent with the single-sided striking technique employed for this coinage type. |
