| Reverse description | A bold Greek cross pattée with splayed arms occupies the central field, set within a plain inner circle. The cross arms divide the inner field into four quarters, each left plain. A small ornamental element appears at the top of the inner circle, consistent with a crown or fleur motif above the cross. The circumferential Latin legend, punctuated by stops, reads continuously around the outer border of the flan, invoking a biblical benediction. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregularity of a hammered flan. |
