| Reverse description | The mint name MEDIEMATRICIS, denoting Metz (Mediomatrica in Latin), is inscribed across the reverse field in three horizontal lines of large capital letters: MEDI / EMATRI / CIS. The field is otherwise plain, without additional ornament or border devices beyond the coin's irregular edge. The bold, well-spaced lettering is characteristic of Carolingian mint practice at Metz during the early ninth century, affirming the coin's place of issue within the imperial minting network. |
