| Beschrijving keerzijde | A schematic depiction of the cathedral church of Hildesheim, rendered with towers and architectural elements in the Romanesque manner typical of 11th-century episcopal mint issues. Above the church facade, a prominent hand — likely a manus Dei (Hand of God) or a benediction hand — is shown descending from above, a motif frequently associated with ecclesiastical authority. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a circular Latin legend in the outer field identifying the mint city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry III's decade-long reign over the empire saw him install and depose popes with unusual authority — he removed three simultaneously in 1046 at the Synod of Sutri, an act that briefly made the papacy a German imperial instrument. The Hildesheim mint operated under episcopal oversight during this period, its output tied directly to the bishop's monetizing rights granted by the crown. Hildesheim's bishops were among the most politically embedded in the imperial church system, and their coinage reflects that proximity to power rather than any peripheral regional mint.
