| Reverse description | The mint name BINGIAC, identifying the mint of Bingen on the Rhine, is displayed in two horizontal lines of rustic Latin capital letters across the field. The letters are boldly rendered in the hammered Carolingian style, filling the flan. The coin is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with early Carolingian denier coinage. The two-line inscription format is characteristic of the pre-reform type struck under Charlemagne during his earliest regal years. |
