| Reverse description | A stylised bird depicted in the field, rendered in the schematic and somewhat abstract manner typical of Salian-period Rhenish deniers. The bird motif, likely an eagle as an imperial symbol, is shown in a simplified form consistent with the crude engraving conventions of the Aachen mint in this era. The surrounding circular legend reads PALATV AQVIS, referencing the imperial palace at Aachen. The flan is irregularly shaped with a somewhat weak and uneven strike throughout. |
