| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a two-line inscription reading SCO above and SEF below, separated by a horizontal bar across the field, referencing Saint Stephen (Sanctus Stephanus), the patron saint of the abbey of Dijon. The lettering is rendered in large, bold characters typical of early Carolingian hammered deniers, with a second horizontal bar or line appearing above the upper legend. The design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets following the irregular flan outline. The execution is crude yet characteristic of ecclesiastical mint production under Pepin the Short. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pépin le Bref — the first Carolingian king, crowned with papal sanction in 751 after Childeric III was deposed and tonsured into a monastery — undertook a systematic reform of Frankish coinage that broke decisively from the degraded Merovingian silver. The Abbey of Saint-Étienne at Dijon, one of the ecclesiastical mints operating under royal authority during his reign, was among the institutions permitted to strike in his name. The absence of a Prou reference for this type, despite its appearance in Gariel and Morrison, points to a genuinely scarce issue that fell through the cracks of early cataloguing.
