| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a stylized cross composed of interlaced letters, forming a monogram of the issuing authority in the Carolingian tradition. The inscription HRMANN PRISC is arranged around the monogram, identifying Hermann I and the mint of Breisach. The design is rendered in the characteristic flat, angular style of early medieval hammered coinage, with crude but deliberate letterforms. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, typical of mid-tenth century German silver deniers. |
