| Reverse description | A stylized temple or church facade depicted in schematic form, featuring a gabled pediment supported by two columns flanking a central doorway, with a cross potent visible within the interior of the structure. The architectural motif is rendered in a flat, linear style consistent with Carolingian hammered coinage. A small cross appears above the pediment at the apex. The circular legend CHRISTIANA RELIGIO — meaning 'Christian Religion' — surrounds the design, underscoring the religious ideology of the Carolingian imperial program. The reverse type is characteristic of the reformed imperial coinage introduced by Charlemagne after 812. |
