| Reverse description | The reverse displays a second monogram composed of the interlaced letters P, A, R, M, R, and F, standing for PARMA REX FRANCORUM (Parma, King of the Franks). The letters are arranged in a bold, interlocked design typical of Carolingian mint practice, with a central pellet accent. The die-engraving is vigorous and angular, consistent with eighth- to ninth-century hammered coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
