| Reverse description | The reverse displays a mounted horseman in profile facing right, depicted in the Romanesque equestrian style typical of 12th-century Austrian and Bavarian pfennigs. The rider appears armed or robed, seated upon a horse shown in full stride, with decorative scrollwork and foliage filling the surrounding field. A horizontal ground line or decorative band separates the horse's legs from the lower field, which contains additional interlaced ornamental motifs. A wheel or rosette device appears to the right of the composition. The design is contained within a beaded border following the irregular outline of the hammered flan. |
