| Reverse description | A stylized tetrastyle temple or church façade depicted in schematic relief, with a pitched roof supported by four columns and a small cross surmounting the apex; a cross occupies the central intercolumniation. The architectural motif, a well-established type on Carolingian and post-Carolingian feudal deniers, is rendered in a crude, debased manner consistent with provincial hammered coinage of this period. The surrounding peripheral legend BITVRICES CIVITAS, identifying the city of Bourges, is disposed in irregular Latin capitals between two beaded circles. |
