| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large stylized cross or monogram design in raised relief, with pellets or globular elements distributed across the field, consistent with the Carolingian palace-monogram type associated with the Maastricht mint. The design elements are arranged somewhat loosely across the flan, with curved and straight strokes interlocking in a manner characteristic of early Carolingian denier types. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly off-center, as is typical for hammered coinage of this era. The surface shows natural wear and original silvery luster in the protected areas of the design. |
