| Reverse description | The reverse displays the mint name of Bourges divided across a bold long cross, with the legend BITV RICES arranged in two lines separated by the horizontal bar of the cross, filling the four quadrants of the coin's field. The lettering is deeply struck and occupies virtually the entire flan in the Carolingian denier tradition, with the cross functioning as a structural divider rather than a purely decorative element. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border, with the flan exhibiting the characteristic irregularity of hand-struck medieval silver coinage. |
