| Reverse description | Long floriated cross with trefoil terminals at each arm, dividing the inner field into four quarters, each adorned with foliate or floral ornaments. The cross is contained within a plain inner circle and surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs between the inner and outer beaded borders, with the mint date appearing at the conclusion of the legend. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape typical of late medieval hammered coinage. |
