| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left, rendered in a bold and schematic Romanesque style, set within a circular beaded or rope border. The lion, heraldic emblem of Henry the Lion, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, is depicted with exaggerated haunches and a curling tail, conveying dynastic symbolism. Foliage or decorative elements appear at the upper field beyond the inner border. The design is characteristic of 12th-century German feudal coinage, with rough flan edges and uneven strike typical of hammered production. No inscription is present. |
