| Reverse description | A highly stylized representation of a church or cathedral facade occupies the center of the reverse, depicted in a schematic architectural manner typical of Ottonian-era coinage. The building is shown with a triangular gabled roof surmounted by a cross, supported by columns or pilasters and featuring arched openings in the nave, rendered in a flat, abstract style. The surrounding legend, distributed around the periphery of the irregular flan, references the issuing city or religious institution. The overall composition reflects the ecclesiastical artistic conventions of 10th-century German deniers. |
