The name of the locality is recorded on dego denarii as HEVONACVM or NEVONACNM. The general style of the coin indicates a Cologne circle, but tall towers of this type appear on Swabian coins from Chur and Constance. One of the more interesting puzzles of early medieval German minting. The only quotations: WCN 9:95 and 96 (1995) (legend variation).
