Reversbeschreibung	Central cruciform device formed by a cross with letters or syllables disposed in the four quarters, creating a monogram-like arrangement typical of Carolingian-derived denier coinage. The word MONE is prominently displayed in the central field, referencing the mint authority. A partially retrograde peripheral legend encircles the design, reading NAMVCENSIS T MONE A, denoting the coinage of Namur. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hand-hammered medieval silver deniers of this period.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Albert II ruled Namur during a period when the county was consolidating its independence from broader Carolingian successor structures, and the decision to strike deniers under his own name reflected that political assertion. Minting rights in the lower Meuse valley were contested and fragmented across this period — local ecclesiastical and secular lords each pressed their claim through coinage. The references here span Ilisch's rigorous die-study corpus, placing this type firmly within the documented sequence for the region.
