| Reverse description | A plain cross with elongated vertical arm occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle — a standard reverse type for Carolingian deniers of the period. The outer legend ✠ S-CI MEDΛRDI MONT encircles the design, identifying the issuing establishment as the Monastery of Saint Medardus at Soissons. The lettering is rendered in angular Carolingian capitals, with the hyphenated abbreviation S-CI standing for SANCTI. The flan shows typical irregular hammered edges and slight metal flow, consistent with ninth-century monastic mint production. The overall fabric and style conform to issues attributed to the Abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons under Carloman II. |
