(Translation: Bishop Conrad)
Reverse description Stylized architectural facade depicting a building with two flanking towers rising above a central rounded arch, a conventional Romanesque representation of the Cathedral of Utrecht rendered in the schematic idiom typical of episcopal deniers of this period. The towers are shown with simplified ornamental detail, and the archway beneath suggests the cathedral's principal entrance. The legend TRAIECTVM, preceded by a cross, encircles the architectural motif and identifies the mint city of Utrecht. The overall composition is symmetrical and framed by a beaded border, consistent with Lower Rhenish hammered coinage of the late eleventh century.
