| Reverse description | Central field displays a plain Latin cross with equal arms in high relief, set within a prominent beaded inner circle that cleanly separates the type from the surrounding legend. The cross, a standard devotional motif of Carolingian ecclesiastical coinage, rises from a short stem and fills the central area with bold, clear lines. The circumferential legend SCI ΔIONVSII M runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer beaded border, identifying the issuing authority as the Monastery of Saint Dionysius (Saint-Denis). The delta (Δ) within ΔIONVSII is a notable use of the Greek character within an otherwise Latin inscription, a distinctive feature of Saint-Denis deniers of this period. The beaded border is well-defined, consistent with hammered silver coinage of the late ninth-century West Frankish realm. |
