| Reverse description | The reverse bears the abbreviated mint and dedication legend SP·R arranged prominently in two lines across the field, with a cross pattée positioned below as a religious symbol, referencing the church of Saint Peter (Sanctus Petrus) at Trier. The letters S and P appear on the left and upper centre respectively, with R to the right, all rendered in bold, well-defined relief. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse, typical of Carolingian denier coinage of this period. The cross below the legend reinforces the ecclesiastical authority associated with this mint, and the overall design is characteristic of the early portrait-less coinage of Charlemagne. |
