| Reverse description | Central field displays the city monogram of Rome, a cruciform interlace of letters forming the name ROMA, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is boldly struck in high relief, following the Carolingian monetary convention for joint papal-imperial issues. The surrounding legend, placed between the beaded circle and the outer edge of the irregular flan, references Emperor Louis II as co-issuing authority, asserting the dual temporal and spiritual power underpinning this coinage. The strike is characteristic of the hammered technique, resulting in a slightly uneven flan with some weakness at the margins. |
