| Reverse description | The reverse features a royal monogram composed of the letters R and F, interlaced and surmounted by a horizontal bar, representing the abbreviated title Rex Francorum (King of the Franks). The monogram is rendered in a bold, angular Carolingian style characteristic of mid-8th century royal coinage. Pellets are distributed symmetrically around the field, flanking the central device. A crosslet element is integrated into the lower portion of the monogram. The design is contained within a beaded border, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
