Reverse description Reverse displays a bold, widely-spaced retrograde or spread inscription arranged in the field reading S COLONI A, referencing the mint city of Cologne (Colonia Agrippina). The large letters fill the flan in an irregular layout typical of Carolingian and Ottonian monetary tradition at the Cologne mint. The flan is crudely struck and exhibits natural surface irregularities from the hammering process. No central motif is present, the lettering itself constituting the primary design element. The workmanship is consistent with ecclesiastical mint production of the late 10th to early 11th century.
