| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a plain cross with expanding arms, dividing the field into four quadrants, a design common to Carolingian-influenced episcopal coinage of the period. The cross is rendered in low relief with a slightly pellet-like centre, typical of the hammered technique employed in early 11th-century Swiss ecclesiastical mints. The surrounding circular legend reads + CONRADVS EPS., identifying Bishop Conrad as the issuing authority, with EPS. being an abbreviation of Episcopus. The flan is irregularly shaped with slight weakness at the rims, consistent with hand-struck medieval practice. |
