| Reverse description | A plain cross centered on the field, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a pair of pellets arranged symmetrically at the angles. The cross and pellet ornaments are boldly struck and clearly defined within a beaded inner circle, with the imperial legend distributed around the periphery. The design is characteristic of Ottonian imperial coinage, combining ecclesiastical and royal iconography in a simple but authoritative composition. |
