| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a three-line Latin legend distributed across the field, reading NO / VINO / MO, a contracted form of NOVIOMO or NOVIOMAGO, the Latin name for Noyon, identifying the mint of issue. The letters are large, boldly cut, and fill the flan in the characteristic Carolingian epigraphic style of the period. A partial beaded border is visible along portions of the irregular flan edge. The overall die execution is coarse and typical of provincial Carolingian mint production under Pepin the Short. |

Pépin III seized the Frankish throne in 751 after engineering the deposition of the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, with papal blessing from Zachary — a transaction that fundamentally reoriented the relationship between Rome and the Frankish crown. His monetary reforms were equally deliberate: he standardized the denier at a heavier weight than his predecessors, effectively wresting control of silver coinage away from the independent ecclesiastical and aristocratic moneyers who had fragmented Merovingian currency into near-chaos. The Noyon attribution places this piece in a diocese that had long been a Frankish administrative stronghold.
