| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Latin legend reading SCI FIRM, disposed in two registers across the field with a horizontal bar above the uppermost line. The letters are rendered in a bold, somewhat rustic Carolingian hand on an irregular flan with a beaded border. The inscription abbreviates Sancti Firmini, referencing Saint Firmin, the first bishop and patron saint of Amiens, identifying the issuing ecclesiastical mint. The overall design is typical of Frankish ecclesiastical deniers of the reign of Pepin the Short, emphasizing the saint's name rather than figurative imagery. |
