| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized architectural or symbolic motif typical of Augsburg Pfennige of the Salian dynasty, with decorative elements arranged across the flat, irregular field. The legend SCA MARIA, invoking the Virgin Mary as patroness, is distributed around the design, consistent with the Marian devotion prominent in Augsburg ecclesiastical and civic coinage of this era. The die work is characteristic of hammered medieval coinage, with uneven strike depth and partial legend breaks due to the irregular planchet. The overall design reflects the transitional Ottonian-Salian artistic conventions of the Imperial Augsburg mint. |
