A circular legend surrounds the central device in the outer field, incorporating the name of the co-issuing emperor Otto and the invocation of Saint Peter, patron of Rome. The lettering is in Carolingian-derived majuscules, partially worn, and distributed around the circumference of the irregularly struck flan.
