Beschrijving keerzijde A plain cross pattée occupies the center of the flan, with two of its angles (at the second and third quarters) adorned by rays of an eight-pointed star or sun motif, a distinctive feature of Vermandois coinage. Small pellets or star ornaments appear in the remaining angles of the cross. The surrounding legend invokes Saint Quentin, the patron saint of the county seat. The strike is bold but slightly off-center, consistent with hand-hammered feudal production. The flan is irregular with a notable chip on one side.

Aanvullende informatie

Eleanor of Alsace inherited Vermandois through a contested succession following the death of her father Philip I of Alsace, Count of Flanders, in 1191 at the siege of Acre during the Third Crusade. The county's coinage rights became a point of friction with the French crown, and Eleanor's issues were struck during a period when Philip II of France was systematically absorbing the great northern French counties into royal domain. Vermandois itself passed to the crown shortly after Eleanor's death.

The Denier Parisis type signals deliberate alignment with Capetian monetary conventions — a political signal as much as a practical one.
