| Reverse description | Central motif consisting of a stylized cross or architectural element, possibly a stylized cross pattée, set within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by the peripheral legend. The field displays the crude but distinctive engraving style associated with the Girona mint under Ramon Berenguer III, with the design elements showing typical wear and die crudeness consistent with hammered medieval coinage of the Iberian Peninsula. |

| Additional information |
Ramon Berenguer III inherited the County of Girona through his father's line while simultaneously expanding Catalan influence southward through marriage and military alliance — most consequentially his 1112 union with Douce I of Provence, which brought that county under Barcelona's sphere without a single battle. The dinero coinage of his reign reflects the consolidation of comital minting authority across multiple territories, with Girona's issues distinct from those struck under his Barcelona title.
Cru#74 is among the lighter silver issues of the series, consistent with the gradual debasement visible across Iberian comital coinages through the early twelfth century.
