| Reverse description | A bold floriated cross pattee occupies the central field, dividing it into four quarters each containing a small floral or trefoil ornament in the angles. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The marginal legend MONTISFERATI, accompanied by the initials T C and separated by rosette ornaments and a cross, runs along the periphery. The flan edges are irregular, typical of hammered medieval billon coinage. The relief is moderately struck, with some weakness at the margins consistent with the production methods of the period. |
