| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with equal arms is depicted at the centre of the coin, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads SEA MARIA, a contracted form invoking the Virgin Mary as patron of the bishopric, introduced by a cross and separated by pellets. Depending on the variety, the quarters of the central cross may be plain or adorned with pellets or the letter V, distinguishing the catalogued die variants DyF#825 through DyF#828. The overall style is typical of anonymous episcopal deniers of 12th-century France, struck with irregularly shaped planchets. |
