Beschrijving keerzijde A bold pattée-style cross occupies the central field, its arms extending nearly to the inner beaded circle, with a single pellet placed in the third quarter (lower left canton). The cross is rendered in high relief consistent with hammered feudal deniers of the Chartrain region. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the cross, reading CARTIS CIVITAS, identifying the issuing city of Chartres. The lettering is separated by a cross at the beginning of the legend and a pellet stop at its close.

Aanvullende informatie

The anonymous deniers of Chartres were struck under the authority of the counts during a period when the county changed hands significantly — passing through the Châtelet family line before absorption into the French royal domain under Philip IV in 1293, which effectively ended independent comital coinage there. The deliberate anonymity of the type, carrying no named authority, was a common feudal hedge: it allowed successive lords to circulate the same die types without costly retooling between successions.

Billon quality on these varies considerably across the seventy-year span of issue, with later strikes generally debased further as royal monetary pressure on feudal mints intensified.
