| Reverse description | Central design features a plain cross pattée with expanded terminals occupying the full inner field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The four angles formed by the arms of the cross are decorated with small pellets or letter fragments, consistent with ecclesiastical denier types of the period. The peripheral legend SANCTA MARIA, invoking the Virgin Mary as the patron of Reims Cathedral, is distributed around the beaded circle. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, with typical flat and uneven strike pressure characteristic of 11th-century feudal minting practice. |
