| Reverse description | The reverse presents a cross or T-shaped monogram in the central field, likely representing the mint signature or a secondary royal or ecclesiastical monogram associated with the Chartres mint, surrounded by scattered pellets or globules distributed irregularly across the field. The flan is characteristically broad and thin with an uneven, crenellated edge typical of hammered Carolingian deniers of the mid-8th century. A partial beaded border frames the design. The surface shows natural die wear and flan irregularities consistent with the hand-hammering technique employed at provincial Carolingian mints of this period. |
