| Reverse description | The reverse presents a long cross dividing the field into four quarters, a standard motif on medieval Visby örtug coinage. A shield or heraldic device appears in the upper central field above the cross, consistent with the civic arms of Visby. The encircling legend in uncial Latin reads MONETA · CIVITATIS, meaning 'coin of the city,' and is partially legible due to the irregular flan and variable strike pressure. The overall workmanship reflects the hand-struck production methods typical of the Visby mint in the mid-14th century. |
