| Reverse description | Central monogram of Bruno, composed of interlaced letters arranged in a cross-like cipher, enclosed within an oval or vesica-shaped border formed by a beaded or double-line ring. The monogram is flanked and surrounded by small rings and pellet-stars distributed symmetrically in the field, a decorative arrangement typical of Rhenish-Franconian ecclesiastical bracteate coinage of the early 12th century. A surrounding inscription references Bishop Bruno, though the lettering is highly abbreviated and partially illegible due to the irregular flan. The overall composition is framed by concentric raised ridges following the coin's circular outline. |
