| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a bold, plain Latin cross with splayed arms of equal length, set within a beaded inner circle that clearly separates the type from the surrounding legend. The cross arms are well-defined and slightly concave at the terminals, consistent with Carolingian hammered denier production. The outer legend runs continuously around the circumference in raised Latin capital letters, identifying the mint city of Chartres. The flan is irregular in outline, typical of hand-cut planchets of the period, with some weakness at the edges due to the hammering technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ralph (Raoul) of Burgundy seized the West Frankish throne in 923 after Robert I was killed at the Battle of Soissons, and his coinage program drew directly on Carolingian monetary convention — the Odonic monogram being an inheritance from the Odo-Robert dynastic line rather than anything Ralph could claim by blood. That deliberate conservatism in the dies was political calculation, not habit.
The Chartres mint attribution rests on a well-established regional series; Prou's cataloguing of this type places it firmly within the Loire ecclesiastical minting sphere.
