| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly stylized schematic representation of a church or abbey facade, enclosed within a beaded circle. The architectural motif features a central tower or gabled structure with flanking elements suggesting nave walls or buttresses, rendered in a flat, symbolic manner consistent with Ottonian ecclesiastical coinage. This image evokes the Gandersheim Abbey, the issuing institution associated with this coinage. The legend A M E N is distributed in the field around the architectural device, lending a devotional character to the reverse design. |
