| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the bishop enthroned in profile or frontal pose, holding a crozier in one hand and a lily scepter in the other. The incuse impression is the natural result of the single-die bracteate striking technique, with the design appearing in negative relief on the reverse. The thin silver flan displays characteristic doming and flan stress typical of bracteate coinage of the Bishopric of Augsburg in the late twelfth century. |
