| Reverse description | The reverse bears the mint name inscription arranged in two horizontal lines of text separated by a raised horizontal bar dividing the flan, with a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The lettering is large and boldly struck in the early Carolingian epigraphic style, occupying the upper and lower registers of the field respectively. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered deniers of this period. |
