| Reverse description | A short Greek cross is centered within an inner beaded circle. In each of the four angles formed by the cross arms, two pellets are arranged radially so as to collectively form a saltire pattern, adding decorative complexity to the field. The mint name legend encircles the central device, conforming to standard Carolingian civic-type reverse conventions. |
