| Beschrijving keerzijde | Four annulets arranged in cruciform pattern around a central pellet, set within a plain inner circle, dominate the field. The surrounding legend is degenerate and partially legible, a hallmark of the heavily worn and stylistically degraded coinage of the County of Melgueil. The letters of the legend, reading NAIDONA, represent a corrupted rendering of NARBONA (Narbonne), the associated mint or monetary authority. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded outer border, visible on this well-struck but irregularly shaped flan. The image shown displays this reverse type clearly, with the four ringed pellets in their characteristic cross arrangement. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The deniers of Melgueil occupied an outsized commercial role relative to the county's modest political standing. Minted under the bishops of Maguelone, who held effective monetary authority over the region, these coins circulated aggressively throughout Languedoc and into northern Italy and Catalonia — referenced explicitly in twelfth-century contracts as the preferred denomination for land transactions and ecclesiastical dues. Their ubiquity in documentary sources is striking.
The type ran with remarkable consistency across multiple issuing authorities, which is precisely why Poey d'Avant lists two sequential references for what is functionally the same coin.
