| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold Latin cross occupying the central field, with large capital letters distributed in the four quadrants to spell out the mint name PAPIA (Pavia). A circumferential legend reading CIVITAS GLOR PA PIA surrounds the design, proclaiming the glory of the city of Pavia. The lettering is deeply struck but irregular in execution, characteristic of the hand-hammered technique employed at the Pavia mint during the late Ottonian period. |
