| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold Latin cross with slightly expanded arms, set within a plain inner circle, a design broadly derived from Carolingian denier prototypes. The cross divides the inner circle into four quadrants. Surrounding the inner circle is a band of radiating wedge-shaped lobes mirroring the obverse arrangement. The circumferential legend, reading S MARRICI, references Saint Mauritius, the patron of the archbishopric, and is introduced by a cross pattée. The overall composition is bold and flat-relieved, consistent with the hammered ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-tenth century. |
