| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a plain cross pattée with a pellet at the center intersection, with a large pointed oval (vesica) motif placed in each of the four quarters between the arms of the cross, creating a distinctive decorative composition. The cross and ovals are boldly struck in the hammered style typical of Lombard Beneventan coinage of the early ninth century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading continuously around the field, invoking the Archangel Michael as patron of the principality. |
