| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a plain cross pattée with four equal arms extending to a beaded inner circle, with a pellet placed in each of the four quadrants formed by the cross. The design is bold and well-centred, characteristic of the Carolingian-derived cross type widely employed in Catalan and Languedocian feudal deniers of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads +VRGELLENSIS (of Urgell), with letters separated by pellets. The flan is broader and more regular than the obverse, with a slightly scalloped edge resulting from the hammering process. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ponce I of Urgell's coinage was struck during a reign defined by mounting pressure from the Crown of Aragon, which had been systematically absorbing the Pyrenean counties throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Agramunt served as the principal mint of Urgell, and these dineros represent one of the final expressions of genuinely independent comital monetary authority before the county was absorbed into the Aragonese orbit following the death of Ermengol X in 1314.
The billon content is typically low, as was consistent with Urgellese issues of this period — a reflection of fiscal strain rather than deliberate debasement policy.
