Reverse description Large capital letters SCI MAR filling the field, rendered in bold Carolingian script and surmounted by a horizontal bar, abbreviating the dedication to Saint Mar[...] (likely Saint Martin or Saint Médard). The monumental lettering occupies virtually the entire flan, with the bar serving as a standard abbreviation mark above the inscription. The strike is characteristic of mid-8th century Frankish ecclesiastical mint production, with a slightly irregular, uneven flan edge.
