| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Peter depicted in a schematic, hieratic style typical of Carolingian-Ottonian ecclesiastical coinage, shown facing forward with a nimbus or halo rendered in relief around the head. The apostle's facial features are rendered in a simplified, linear manner consistent with tenth-century hammered die work. The Latin legend SCS PETRVS flanks the bust, identifying the figure as Saint Peter, patron of Rome. The flan exhibits the irregular contour and variable surface characteristic of hand-struck medieval deniers. |
