| Reverse description | A stylized open right hand (dextera Domini, the Hand of God) depicted in high relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a linear inner circle. The motif, a common theological symbol on early medieval episcopal coinage, is rendered with elongated fingers splayed upward in a gesture of benediction. The surrounding legend DEXTERA DNI (Dextera Domini, meaning 'Right Hand of the Lord') runs along the periphery of the irregular flan in crude Latin capitals. The overall design reflects the strong ecclesiastical character of the Chur episcopal mint in the early 11th century. |
