| Reverse description | A long-shafted cross with footed terminations extends to the inner border, its arms dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing a small heraldic lion passant. The cross is superimposed upon a decorated quatrefoil whose lobed arches are visible between the cross arms, creating an elegant gothic framework typical of Rhenish-Mosan gros coinage. A beaded inner circle separates the central motif from the surrounding legend, which is inscribed in uncial gothic script. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-hammered production. |
