| Reverse description | A schematic, barbaric bust facing right occupies the central field, rendered in the crude, stylized manner typical of Breton feudal deniers of this period, with facial features reduced to abstract relief elements. The head is set within a plain inner circle. The surrounding circular legend names the mint town of Guingamp, the principal seat of the Counts of Penthièvre, in characteristic Romanesque lettering. |
