| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a stylized equestrian figure facing left, depicting the count on horseback in a schematic, romanesque manner characteristic of Catalan feudal coinage. The horse and rider are rendered in low relief with bold, simplified strokes typical of 12th-century hammered billon deniers. Pellets or annulets appear in the field surrounding the equestrian motif. The legend, partially visible along the periphery, is struck in a crude Latin script consistent with the irregular flan. The overall style reflects the artisanal workshop production of the Agramunt mint under Armengol VII. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a pellet or annulet, a standard design element of Catalan feudal deniers of the period. The cross is bold and slightly irregular due to the hammered technique and the uneven billon flan. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the cross, partially legible along the coin's periphery. The inscription names the issuing count, consistent with the titulature conventions of 12th-century Iberian feudal coinage. The overall execution is robust but crude, reflecting the limited die-cutting standards of the Agramunt mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Armengol VII spent much of his reign entangled in the politics of the Crown of Aragon, having been raised at the court of Alfonso VII of Castile and later navigating competing obligations to both Aragonese and Castilian overlords. The Agramunt mint was the principal striking facility for Urgell's billon coinage during this period, and the dineros produced there circulated across the county's markets and toll-points in the Segre valley. Output was modest by Iberian standards — Urgell was a mid-tier county with limited silver access, which the low fineness of this billon reflects directly.
