| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name of Reims arranged in two lines separated by a horizontal bar across the centre of the flan, reading REM on the upper line and CIVIT on the lower line, denoting 'City of Reims' (Remis Civitas). The letters are rendered in bold hammered capitals characteristic of early Carolingian minting practice. The horizontal dividing line is a diagnostic feature of this pre-reform Carolingian denier type. The overall composition is aniconic, with no cross, monogram, or figurative device, relying solely on the toponym legend to identify the issuing mint. |
