| Reverse description | A plain cross with equal arms is centered within a beaded inner circle, the quadrants left unadorned in the typical early medieval manner. An outer flat border, also bounded by a beaded ring, frames the entire design, creating a concentric double-circle composition. No legend is present on the reverse, which is characteristic of anonymous deniers from the County of Sens during the first half of the eleventh century. The surfaces show natural wear and flan irregularities consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
Sens passed to the French royal domain under Robert II around 1015, making the precise dating of anonymous episcopal or comital issues from this mint genuinely difficult — the overlapping jurisdictions between the archbishopric and comital authority left coin production in an ambiguous administrative space for decades. Anonymous billon deniers of this type circulated across the Yonne basin as the primary small-denomination currency of the region throughout the first half of the eleventh century.
