| Reverse description | Central field features a stylised cross with decorative elements in the quarters, characteristic of the Poitevin denier tradition, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms are bold and slightly splayed, with the quadrants bearing varying minor ornaments depending on die variety, including annulets or dashes as catalogued under Duplessy féodales variants. The surrounding circular legend reads PIC TΛVIE NSIS, identifying the issuing authority as Poitiers. The reverse flan is similarly irregular and thin, with a dentilated outer border consistent with the hammered coinage of the County of Poitou under Richard I. |
