Reverse description An anchored cross — a cross with anchor-like bifurcated terminals on each arm — occupies the central field, enclosed within an inner beaded or linear circle. The surrounding marginal legend reads + SCI VALERIANI, invoking Saint Valerianus, the patron of the Abbey of Tournus, affirming the ecclesiastical mint authority. The lettering is angular and somewhat irregular, typical of Capetian-era hammered deniers struck at Tournus.
