| Reverse description | The reverse features a simplified architectural or monogram motif rendered in angular Romanesque style, occupying the central field of the flan. The legend ΛIЕСΛ is distributed across the field, likely representing a stylized rendering of the mint city name Basilea (Basel) in abbreviated form. The letterforms are crude and deeply incised, consistent with hammered provincial ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-eleventh century. The design is enclosed within a dotted inner circle, visible on well-preserved specimens. The flan is irregular and slightly octagonal in outline, typical of hand-cut silver planchets of this period. |
