| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name REDNIS (Rennes) divided into two lines of capital letters across the central field, separated by a horizontal bar or line. The lettering is bold and typical of early Carolingian hand, with the upper line reading RED and the lower line reading NIS. A border of pellets encircles the design along the rim of the irregular flan, consistent with the obverse treatment and the broader Carolingian denier typology of this early period. |
