| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised architectural structure, most likely a church or city gate facade, rendered in a schematic manner characteristic of Ottonian-era Regensburg deniers. The building is shown with a triangular gabled roof surmounted by a small cross finial, supported by columns or pilasters, with the mint name abbreviation ELIN displayed prominently within the structure. The surrounding circular legend reads REGINA CIVITAS ELIN, referencing Regensburg as the royal city. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border on an irregular hammered flan. |
