| Reverse description | The central device is a stylised architectural temple or church facade, depicting a triangular pediment supported by columns with a stepped base, rendered in the Carolingian schematic style typical of Frankish ecclesiastical deniers. The structure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend in uncial capitals surrounds the inner circle, identifying the mint city. The design follows the well-established Carolingian temple type, referencing the episcopal city of Auxerre, and is struck on an irregular flan with variable depth of relief consistent with hand-hammered production. |
