| Reverse description | A plain cross with equal arms divides the reverse field into four quadrants, set within a beaded inner circle. The cross is boldly struck and centrally placed, serving as the primary motif of this standard Romanesque denier type. The surrounding circular legend reads ✠ TORNVCIO CAST, referencing the castle of Tournus, the seat of the issuing abbey. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. |
