| Opschrift voorzijde | + HILTOLFVS ARCHEPS |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal view of a stylized two-towered church facade, representing Cologne Cathedral, depicted with a central pointed arch and a cross rising above the roofline, all set within a decorative ring formed by the city wall. The architectural rendering is characteristic of Ottonian-Salian ecclesiastical coinage, with the towers flanking the central gabled nave. The surrounding Latin legend reads +SANCTA COLONIA, identifying the holy city of Cologne, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hildolf served as Archbishop of Cologne during one of the most turbulent episodes in medieval German history — the Investiture Controversy that pitted Pope Gregory VII directly against Henry IV. These deniers were struck in the years immediately surrounding Henry's excommunication in 1076 and his famous submission at Canossa in January 1077, when the Archbishop's political allegiances were under acute pressure from both imperial and papal camps.
Cologne's archbishops held minting rights as part of their broader regalian privileges, and coinage struck under Hildolf sits in a transitional moment when those rights were increasingly contested by reformist ecclesiastical politics.
