| Reverse description | Central field features a plain Greek cross with arms extending to a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. The cross is boldly struck and centrally placed within the inner circle, characteristic of Carolingian ecclesiastical mint issues. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, identifying the mint city of Langres, and runs between the inner beaded border and the irregular outer rim. The design reflects the standard Carolingian reverse type adopted at episcopal mints throughout the kingdom. |
