| Reverse description | A stylized architectural motif dominates the reverse field, depicting a crenellated fortress or gateway with towers, rendered schematically in the Romanesque manner typical of 12th-century German episcopal pfennigs. The structure is shown frontally with two flanking towers and a central gate or arch, symbolizing the seat of ecclesiastical power at Laufen an der Salzach. A partial Latin legend runs along the periphery of the irregularly shaped flan, partially effaced by the hammered striking process. The overall composition is bold and deeply struck, consistent with the CNA type A30 attribution. |
