Reverse description The reverse displays a schematic temple or church facade rendered in a highly stylized manner, with a triangular pediment surmounted by a cross at its apex and further crosses or cross-like elements within the tympanum and body of the structure. Surrounding the central architectural motif is a degenerate circular legend reading SRODBT ES, comprising heavily corrupted letterforms characteristic of late Ottonian-era die degradation. The architectural design is consistent with the church-facade type widely employed on contemporaneous German episcopal Pfennige. The overall strike is bold but uneven, with some flatness at the flan edges attributable to the irregular planchet.
