| Reverse description | A stylized architectural motif depicting a fortified structure or castle with a central tower surmounted by battlements, flanked by two lower round towers, all rendered in bold relief characteristic of Romanesque hammered coinage. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, outside of which a series of large triangular points or spikes radiates toward the irregular flan edge, forming a prominent outer decorative ring. The design is entirely aniconic with no inscription, the architectural type likely referencing a local fortification or seat of comital authority associated with the Formbach dynasty. |
