| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermann I ruled Swabia under Ottonian overlordship, and his coinage at Breisach — a Rhine crossing point of considerable strategic value — reflects the decentralized minting authority that characterized the early German duchies before imperial consolidation tightened control. Breisach's position on the Rhine made it an obvious site for a ducal mint, facilitating toll collection and regional trade along one of Europe's primary commercial arteries.
Kluge's cataloging of this type as Kar#247 places it within a narrow documentary window; surviving examples are sparse enough that die linkage studies remain incomplete.
