| Reverse description | The central field within a beaded inner circle displays the Carolingian-derived city monogram of Rome, rendered in interlaced relief letters in the early medieval hammered style. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, reading ROMA followed by a cross and SCS PETRVS, invoking the city of Rome and its patron saint Peter. The irregular flan and variable strike are consistent with Roman workshop production of the mid-tenth century. The reverse design reinforces the papal and apostolic authority behind this joint issue, tying the coinage firmly to the See of Rome. |
