Reverse description A set of scales (balance) depicted in a stylized, schematic manner occupying the central field, symbolizing justice and judicial authority. The legend IVSTVM (Righteous) is distributed in the angles formed by the design elements, a common compositional device in Carolingian-influenced Iberian deniers. The overall workmanship is characteristic of the crude hammered technique used in the County of Girona during the tenth and early eleventh centuries. The beaded border is partially visible along the irregular flan edge.
