| Reverse description | The reverse presents a schematic frontal bust of Emperor Henry III, depicted in the Romanesque hammered style typical of mid-11th-century German imperial coinage, with stylized facial features and a beaded inner circle visible in sections. The bust is rendered with angular, almost abstract lines conveying regal authority, with indistinct drapery or armor at the shoulders. The surrounding legend reads + HEINRICVS IMP, proclaiming Henry as Emperor. The flan is irregular and the strike is somewhat uneven, as is common for hammered deniers of this period. |
