| Reverse description | A schematically rendered church or cathedral facade with two flanking towers dominates the reverse field, a motif emblematic of the archiepiscopal see of Mainz and closely associated with Salian-era episcopal coinage. The architectural design is executed in the flat, linear style common to eleventh-century German pfennigs, with the towers flanking a central structure and decorative elements filling the field. A circular Latin legend enclosing the mint city name reads around the periphery of the flan, affirming the Mainz (Mogontia) mint attribution. |
