Descrizione del rovescio	Two-line horizontal Latin inscription filling the central field of the flan, divided across two registers. The upper line reads ERBRI and the lower line reads DORIR, together likely representing a garbled or abbreviated rendering of a mint or place name, a common feature of Frisian deniers of this period. The lettering is boldly struck in the rustic Carolingian-derived style typical of late tenth- and early eleventh-century regional coinage, with no surrounding border or additional decorative elements.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Frisia in the late tenth century was not a unified political entity but a loose collection of coastal territories where comital and episcopal authority overlapped messily. This denier is associated with Wickman III, a figure whose precise role in Frisian monetary administration remains debated — the attribution rests primarily on die analysis and hoard distribution rather than documentary record. The Ilisch NL1#20.2 reference places this type within the North Sea trading network, where Frisian deniers circulated alongside Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon issues in the Baltic commerce of the period.
