| Obverse description | Central field bearing the letters C✜MES arranged in the form of a cross, with the crossbar of the monogram formed by a cross pattée. The legend VILELMVS C✜MES, identifying William as count, runs around the periphery, separated by a small floral or pellet ornament. The design is characteristic of Carolingian-influenced feudal coinage, with a somewhat irregular hammered flan and bold, angular lettering typical of early medieval French deniers. |
