| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylized and heavily worn central motif, likely a cross or geometric device, characteristic of the primitive feudal denier coinage of northern France in the mid-11th century. The surrounding field is deeply striated from die wear and circulation. A circular Latin legend encircles the central design, identifying the mint place as the castle of Dreux. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-cut billon flans of the period. |
