| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a tall cross or stylized monogram, rendered in bold relief, flanked by the abbreviated legend of Duke Hermann I of Swabia arranged in quadrants around the central device. The inscription reads SSC HRIMMA NC, distributed across the field in the Carolingian epigraphic tradition. The design is enclosed within a plain inner border and an outer beaded or dotted rim. The lettering is broad and somewhat irregular, characteristic of the hammered coinage produced at the Breisach mint during the mid-tenth century. No effigy is present; the design is entirely textual and symbolic. |
