| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold cross pattée or long cross extending nearly to the inner beaded border, dividing the field into four quadrants, a common design element on 14th-century German ecclesiastical and seigneurial pfennigs. The surrounding peripheral legend in Gothic uncial script carries the Marian invocation AVE MAR IAG RAT, an abbreviation of Ave Maria Gratia, reflecting the religious devotional character typical of coinage from the Rhineland region during this era. The flan is irregularly struck with uneven edges and moderate wear consistent with extensive circulation. Relief is low throughout, and the cross arms are clearly delineated despite surface porosity. |
