| Reverse description | Central device depicting two dies or anvils flanked by two hammers, symbolising the mint's coining activity and referencing the tools of the moneyer's craft. This distinctive reverse type is associated with the Melle mint and its metalworking tradition. The motif is set within a plain field, encircled by the Latin legend METALL GERMAN distributed around the periphery. The overall design is characteristic of Carolingian provincial mint issues, struck on an irregular flan with typical hammered workmanship. |
