| Reverse description | The reverse displays three crowned or mitred frontal busts in close arrangement, likely representing the Holy Trinity or a group of saints associated with the Heiligenkreuz dedication. The figures are rendered in a schematic, Romanesque style with visible drapery folds below the busts. A beaded or rope border frames the design along the inner edge of the flan. The surface shows significant wear and green cuprite patina consistent with prolonged circulation and burial, with some areas of flat strike typical of hammered medieval silver coinage. |
