| Reverse description | Reverse features a central cross pattée enclosed within a plain beaded or raised inner circle, the design mirroring the architectural simplicity typical of Angevin feudal deniers. The four quadrants formed by the cross arms each contain a short wedge or crescent-like element, contributing to a decorative pattern radiating from the center. The outer legend, in uncial Latin, reads EXOLDVNI (Issoudun), introduced by a cross stop and running around the circumference of the irregular flan. The overall style is characteristic of the monetary workshop at Issoudun active during Richard I's tenure as lord, displaying the customary roughness of hammered billon coinage of this era. |
