| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central plain cross with a long stem set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants each containing a small triangular wedge or pellet ornament. The outer border is decorated with alternating crosses pattée and crescent or wedge motifs, forming a distinctive ornamental ring characteristic of Carolingian ecclesiastical coinage. The circular legend + SCI FVRSI (Saint Fursey) runs between the beaded inner circle and the outer decorative border. The coin exhibits a crack through the upper right quadrant, consistent with the flan's irregular hammered nature. |

Odo, Count of Paris, was elected king in 888 after the Carolingian Charles the Fat proved incapable of defending the realm — his accession coming almost immediately after the Vikings had besieged Paris for over a year, a siege Odo himself had led the defense of. The abbey of Péronne, founded around the tomb of the Irish monk Fursey who died there around 650, held minting rights that Odo confirmed as part of broader efforts to consolidate ecclesiastical loyalty during his contested reign against Carolingian claimants.
Prou's reference number 245 in the Carolingian series places this squarely within a documented but sparsely surviving monastic issue.
