| Reverse description | A short-footed cross, whose arms terminate before reaching the coin's periphery, is embellished at its extremities with two crossed lily bars, giving a decorative foliate character to the design. An additional inner pearl circle frames the central cross, creating a concentric border effect within the field. The composition is characteristic of Romanesque ecclesiastical influenced die work of the mid-to-late 12th century, with the pellet border providing a secondary decorative frame typical of Low Countries obol coinage of the period. |
