| Reverse description | The reverse of this hammered silver denier from the Bishopric of Basel during the episcopate of Theoderich (1041–1055) likely features a cross or similar simple religious motif typical of Ottonian episcopal deniers of the period, though specific details of this side are not fully documented in available references. The flan is irregular and the strike characteristic of hand-hammered medieval coinage. The fields would be plain with minimal additional ornament, consistent with the austere monetary style of 11th-century German episcopal mints. |
