| Reverse description | The central field displays the Carolingian royal monogram KRLS — an interlaced cipher composed of the letters K, R, L, and S — set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads ✠ METVLLO, identifying the Melle mint (Metullum in Latin), rendered in Carolingian majuscule. The monogram, a hallmark of Charlemagne's coinage reform of c. 793–794, is boldly rendered with interlocking strokes, and the outer field is populated by star-pointed letter forms consistent with the Melle workshop's stylistic conventions. |
