| Reverse description | The reverse features a cross formed entirely by the disposition of the surrounding Latin legend, the letters arranged so as to create a cruciform composition at the centre of the flan. This epigraphic cross type is characteristic of early medieval Low Country deniers, where the inscription itself serves as the primary decorative element. The lettering is set within the irregular hammered flan, with the legend referencing the Brussels mint. The overall design is typical of Ottonian-era coinage struck in the name of the emperor at provincial mints. |
