背面描述	The reverse presents the moneyer's name ODALRICVS arranged as a circular legend around a central cross, the arms of which divide the field into four quarters. The cross is boldly rendered in relief, with the surrounding inscription in Carolingian majuscules following the flan's circumference. A beaded border frames the design, typical of the early Carolingian denier fabric attributable to the pre-reform coinage of Charlemagne's reign.

附加信息	Struck in the years before Charlemagne's monetary reform of 793–794, this denier belongs to the pre-reform coinage that the Capitulare missorum of 794 rendered obsolete almost overnight. That reform — which mandated heavier, standardized pennies at roughly 1.7g and tightened control over which mints could strike — effectively devalued and demonetized the entire earlier lightweight series. The moneyer name Odalricus places responsibility for this piece with a named individual, a practice that survived into the reform coinage and reflects Carolingian accountability policy rather than mere convention.
