| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central cross, its arms extending to a beaded inner circle, with a pronounced triangular or wedge-shaped decorative element at the cross's center, possibly representing a stylized monogram or architectural motif. The peripheral legend LGVDVNVS identifies the Lyon mint, arranged around the circumference of the irregular hammered flan. The lettering is characteristic of tenth-century Carolingian epigraphy, with bold, slightly uneven strokes. A beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The overall style reflects the feudal monetary conventions of the Kingdom of Arles. |
