Reverse description The reverse presents the mint name VISOSAS arranged in two lines across the field, structured around an implied cross motif in accordance with the conventional Carolingian-derived denier type. The lettering is distributed symmetrically to suggest a cross-crosslet composition, with individual letter groups occupying the four quadrants. The execution is characteristically rough, with letters of uneven depth and spacing on the irregularly shaped flan, typical of anonymous episcopal issues struck at Visé during the early eleventh century.
