| Reverse description | Central field bearing the Angers mint monogram ANDE (Andecavis), composed of interlaced letters rendered in high relief, with a cross or star-like symbol to the left and a row of pellets arranged in an arc to the right and upper field. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. The design is characteristic of the early Carolingian hammered denier coinage, with the mint name rendered as a Carolingian monogram rather than a written legend. |
