| Reverse description | Central plain cross with globules placed in each of the four quadrants formed by the cross arms, a common device type on Salian imperial deniers. A crescent or stylized architectural element appears above the upper arm of the cross, likely representing a church or cathedral facade symbolic of the Worms mint. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded circle, with the surrounding field bearing the legend + HEINRICVS. The execution is typical of mid-eleventh century Rhenish hammered silver coinage, with bold if somewhat irregular relief. |
