| Reverse description | Central cross fleury or cross pattée with fleur-de-lis terminals occupying the four quadrants of the field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. Small pellets are visible in at least one quadrant, a common decorative device on feudal billon issues. The surrounding Latin legend reads MONETA ORIALET, denoting the mint of Orgelet, introduced by a cross pattée. The coin exhibits the characteristic uneven surfaces and weak strike areas typical of hammered billon coinage of medieval French feudal lords. |
