| Reverse description | A voided short cross divides the reverse into four quarters, each angle filled with a quatrefoil of pellets within an inner beaded circle, forming the hallmark design of the Short Cross coinage series. A cross pommée serves as the initial mark. The moneyer's name and mint town are inscribed in the surrounding legend in two segments separated by pellet stops, identifying the issuing authority. The overall design is characteristic of the class 5a2 subtype, with neat lettering and well-formed pellet ornaments. |
