| Reverse description | A stylized frontal bust of Saint Stephen, the patron of Besançon Cathedral, depicted with a raised right hand in the gesture of benediction and dividing the surrounding legend into two halves. The figure is rendered in the schematic, hieratic style typical of feudal episcopal coinage of the period, with rudimentary facial features and vestmental detail visible on this hammered flan. The reverse legend identifies the saint by name within the outer circle. |
