(Translation: Bishop Ulrich.)
Reverse description A highly stylized schematic representation of a church or cathedral façade, rendered in the primitive architectural shorthand common to Ottonian-era episcopal deniers. The building is depicted with a prominent triangular pediment or gable surmounted by a cross, beneath which horizontal lines suggest the body of the structure, evoking the nave or portal. The surrounding Latin legend identifies the issuing city. The overall style is characteristically abstract, with the architectural motif serving as a symbol of episcopal authority rather than a literal portrait of the building.
