The stepped base is rendered in three clearly defined horizontal registers. The surrounding legend names the mint of Sens in the outer field. The design is executed in the restrained, functional style characteristic of Carolingian ecclesiastical-influenced coinage, with the cross motif emphasizing the Christian authority of the Frankish monarch. |
