| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold central cross divides the reverse field into four quadrants, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, consistent with the standard Salian-period denier format. The cross arms extend to the inner circle, and the surrounding area displays a circular Latin legend naming the mint. The overall execution is characteristic of the Worms mint workshop of the mid-eleventh century, with the design rendered in the flat, schematic style of hammered coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Helena was the wife of Henry III, whose reign saw aggressive reassertion of imperial control over ecclesiastical appointments — the very policy that would metastasize into the Investiture Controversy within a generation. Worms was among the imperial mints producing coinages in the empress's name during this period, a practice reflecting her formal role as co-ruler and regent rather than mere consort.
Kluge Kar#147 places this piece within a tight sequence of Salian dynasty deniers. The Worms mint attribution is based primarily on die-link analysis and stylistic comparison rather than documentary evidence.
