| Obverse description | Crude hammered silver denier struck under Bishop Theoderich of Basel. The obverse field displays the bishop's name arranged in a grid-like pattern across three lines, reading T HE OIR D, rendered in angular, archaic Romanesque letterforms. The inscription is distributed across the flan in a cross-shaped arrangement typical of early medieval episcopal deniers. The lettering is bold and deeply struck, filling the central field without a surrounding border legend. The overall style reflects the primitive die-cutting characteristic of mid-eleventh century Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage. |
