| Reverse description | The reverse displays a prominent six-pointed star formed by two interlaced triangles, with a small letter A or central pellet device in the center, all struck in hammered relief. The star's points and interior geometric forms are boldly delineated, reflecting the decorative Carolingian artistic vocabulary of the mid-eighth century. The field is otherwise plain, bounded by a beaded border. This geometric motif is typical of Herstal-type deniers attributed to Pepin the Short. |
