Reverse description A bold double-barred or plain cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with abbreviated elements of the count's name distributed in the angles between the arms. The cross is deeply struck and extends close to the coin's edge, a hallmark of early Catalan feudal coinage. Letters visible in the quadrants spell out components of the legend RAIMVNDVS BRG, identifying the issuer as Ramon Berenguer. The workmanship is characteristically rough, with irregular flan edges and variable strike depth consistent with hand-hammered production. The outer circular legend frames the cross composition.
