| Reverse description | Central field displays a stylised monogram or ornamental device composed of interlocking angular elements, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend zone bears the mint attribution in Latin capital letters, referencing the sanctuary of Sainte-Marie du Puy. The outer border repeats the same ring of pointed lozenge-shaped bosses found on the obverse, a hallmark of the Puy workshop's early Capetian coinage. The strike is characteristically off-centre and irregular, reflecting the hammered technique of the period. |
