| Reverse description | A schematic representation of a city gate occupies the central field, depicted in the Carolingian architectural style with a crenellated tower surmounting an arched portal, flanked by lateral walls and resting on a base, evoking the Roman gateway of Arles. The circular Latin legend ARELATVM surrounds the central device, identifying the mint city. The overall design reflects the Carolingian revival of antique civic imagery as a symbol of imperial authority. |
