| Reverse description | Schematic representation of a city gate or palatium, rendered as a rectangular architectural structure with two flanking towers surmounted by spear-like finials, and a central arched or gated passage between them — a design closely associated with the Pavia mint under Carolingian coinage conventions. A small cross appears at the top center above the structure, likely within or just above the gateway. The legend * PAPIA is disposed around the architectural motif, identifying the mint city of Pavia. The overall design is bold and diagrammatic, consistent with the hammered coinage of the early ninth century. |
