| Beschrijving voorzijde | A short cross pattée is centrally placed within a beaded inner circle, with a pellet positioned in each of the four angles formed by the cross arms. The surrounding legend, reading clockwise, invokes the Carolingian imperial title. The die-cutting exhibits the characteristic roughness of early medieval hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan preparation typical of the Antwerp mint of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two pediment or roof-like architectural forms are depicted back-to-back, arranged vertically from top to bottom, a design ultimately derived from the Carolingian temple type. Between the two pediments appears degenerate lettering that has lost legibility through successive die copying. The surrounding legend is likewise heavily degenerate, reflecting the extensive die deterioration and copyist's degradation characteristic of imitative medieval issues struck at peripheral mints in the name of Louis I the Pious long after his reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The margraves of Antwerp held their territory as a frontier lordship on the northern edge of the medieval empire, and coinage struck there in the early eleventh century borrowed imperial authority by invoking Louis — almost certainly Louis the Pious — rather than advertising any local dynastic name. This was deliberate: it lent legitimacy to issues from a mint whose political standing was perpetually subordinate to larger powers pressing in from multiple directions.
The variety designation against Ilisch NL2#26.2 is worth noting. Antwerp output from this period survives in small numbers, and die combinations outside the primary reference types are documented but rarely pinned to specific hoard contexts with confidence.
