| Reverse description | Architectural representation of the Cologne cathedral or a stylized city gate facade, rendered in a distinctive Romanesque manner with multiple towers, arched colonnades, and a central domed structure. The building motif is a characteristic type for Cologne episcopal coinage of the late 11th century, symbolizing the city and ecclesiastical authority. The surrounding legend SANCTA COLONAS identifies the holy city of Cologne. The entire design is executed in bold, naïve relief typical of hammered medieval deniers. |
