| Reverse description | A bold cross with a pellet in the fourth quarter occupies the center of the coin within a beaded inner circle, a layout characteristic of Carolingian monetary tradition perpetuated in episcopal coinage. The cross divides the field into four quarters, with the single pellet serving as the distinguishing mark of this issue. The surrounding peripheral legend in debased Latin majuscules identifies the city of Langres as the place of issue. |
