| Reverse description | A bold, plain cross with equal arms occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross terminals are squared and clearly defined. The surrounding circular legend names the city of Limoges as the place of issue. Small cross pattée ornaments punctuate the legend at intervals. The composition is typical of late Carolingian and early feudal French deniers, reflecting the minting conventions of the Viscounty of Limoges during the late 10th to early 11th century. |
