| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name ANDERNACH arranged in two lines across the field, divided horizontally by a cross pommée with pellet stops to either side. A fleur-de-lis (lily) ornament appears at the lower register beneath the cross, serving as a decorative device. The legends are contained within a beaded inner border. The lettering is bold and characteristic of the Ottonian–Salian period minting tradition at Andernach. |

| Additional information |
Theoderic I ruled Upper Lotharingia from 984 until his death in 1026, a tenure long enough to produce a coherent coinage even amid the turbulent politics of the Ottonian-Salian transition. The mint at Andernach, sited on the Rhine, operated under shifting comital and episcopal jurisdictions throughout the tenth and eleventh centuries, making precise attribution of individual dies within this period genuinely difficult. Dann Sa#443 represents the scholarly consensus, but competing attributions exist in older literature.
