| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a bold, plain cross pattée with slightly flared terminals, dividing the field into four quadrants each containing an elongated pellet or leaf-shaped ornament. The cross is rendered in a simple, monumental style characteristic of Lombard ecclesiastical coinage of the Carolingian period. A beaded border frames the design. The surrounding legend ARCHANGE MICHAHEL invokes the Archangel Michael, patron of the Lombard principality of Benevento, arranged in the outer legend field. |
