背面描述	The reverse displays a crowned frontal bust or architectural-style crowned figure centrally placed within a beaded or plain inner circle, rendered in a highly stylized, flat relief consistent with 12th-century Bavarian pfennig die work. Flanking elements suggest architectural towers or ornamental supporters typical of Henry the Lion's coinage. The flan is irregularly shaped with uneven edges resulting from hand hammering. The design is weakly struck in areas due to the variable pressure inherent in medieval hammered technique. No readable legend is present.

附加信息	Henry the Lion's tenure as Duke of Bavaria and Saxony simultaneously made him the most powerful secular prince in the Holy Roman Empire — until Frederick Barbarossa stripped him of both duchies in 1180 following Henry's refusal to provide military support at the Diet of Chiavenna. The deniers struck during this period predate that fall, issued from a position of near-royal autonomy that few German nobles ever achieved. The 1180 deposition fractured Bavaria itself, with the duchy redistributed among multiple lords and never reassembled in its original form.
