| Reverse description | Frontal effigy of Bishop Gautier wearing a mitre, rendered in the same schematic Romanesque style as the obverse, reflecting the joint episcopal and royal authority over the Laon mint. The bust faces forward with simplified facial features, the mitre clearly distinguishing the ecclesiastical figure. A beaded inner border surrounds the central type. The circumferential Latin legend reads GALTERVS EPC, identifying the bishop by name and abbreviated title (episcopus). |
