| Reverse description | Two-line inscription in large, bold Latin capitals occupying the central field, reading SCI PETRI, surmounted by a horizontal bar or fillet above the legend, identifying the issuing ecclesiastical authority as the Abbey of Saint Peter at Corbie. The lettering is characteristic of Carolingian monastic coinage, with tall, somewhat irregular letterforms typical of eighth-century hammered deniers struck under royal privilege. A pellet border frames the design along the flan edge. |
