| Reverse description | A stylized Romanesque church facade with a central dome flanked by two towers, depicted above a horizontal line representing the Rhine or Moselle river at Confluentia (Coblenz), all within a beaded inner circle (grenetis). The architectural rendering is characteristic of mid-11th century episcopal coinage, with the building shown in schematic elevation. The Latin legend naming the mint city encircles the design. |

| Additional information |
Eberhard served as Archbishop of Trier from 1047 until his death in 1066, a tenure marked by his close alignment with the Salian court under Henry III. The Archbishopric held extensive minting rights in the Moselle region, and Trier's deniers from this period circulated widely in the Rhineland trading networks feeding into the great fairs of the eleventh century.
Kluge Kar#352 places this issue within a well-documented Carolingian-derived minting tradition at Trier, one of the oldest continuously operating mints north of the Alps.
