| Reverse description | The reverse of this bracteate-influenced denier is uniface or shows only a faint incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, as is characteristic of the thin hammered pfennig coinage produced at the Fraumünster Abbey mint in Zurich during the 12th century. The surface exhibits natural die flow and metal stress typical of hand-struck ecclesiastical issues of the period. No distinct reverse legend or independent design is present. |
