| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line field inscription naming the mint city of Strasbourg, reading STRAZ BVRG in bold, irregular hammered Latin capitals arranged across the coin's flat field. The lettering is set within a plain inner area enclosed by a beaded circle, itself surrounded by a toothed or cable border running to the coin's irregular edge. The monumental, architecturally-inspired lettering arrangement is consistent with Ottonian-era German deniers, where the mint name served as the principal reverse type in lieu of a figurative design. |
