| Reverse description | The reverse displays a three-line or four-line textual inscription arranged across the central field, reading the devotional and geographic legend XPIITIΛNΛ REIICIO MEDI C OLΛ, referencing the Christian faith and the Milan mint. The lettering, rendered in bold Carolingian majuscules with characteristic pseudo-Greek lambda forms substituting for A, fills the field in a rectilinear arrangement. A circumferential legend runs around the outer border, separated from the central inscription by a raised inner ring. The flan edges are irregular and show the characteristic uneven striking common to early medieval Italian hammered silver. The composition and epigraphy are consistent with the Milan mint output of the early tenth century under Berengar I. |
