| Reverse description | A bold pattée-style cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with a V-shaped device or letter placed in the second quarter, a distinctive diagnostic feature of this type. The cross extends to the beaded inner circle that frames the central design. The Latin mint legend ✠ ATREB°AS° CI, denoting the city of Arras (Atrebas Civitas), runs around the outer border of the coin. The overall design is executed in the angular, high-relief hammered style typical of late Carolingian royal deniers, with the flan showing the characteristic irregular outline of hand-struck coinage of the period. |
