| Reverse description | Two facing busts side by side in a primitive Romanesque style, representing Bishop John I and Emperor Henry IV, both depicted frontally with schematic facial features. A cross or scepter appears between the two figures, emphasizing their joint ecclesiastical and imperial authority. The busts are rendered within a dotted border, with scattered letters of the partial Latin legend distributed around the field on the irregular flan. The overall design reflects the characteristic Ottonian-Salian artistic tradition of episcopal coinage from the Speyer mint. |
