| Reverse description | A bold floriated or pattee cross occupies the center of the reverse field, with each of the four arms terminating in a pellet or trefoil ornament, creating a flowered cross design. The cross is rendered in high relief against a plain field, with additional pellets decorating the angles between the arms. The style is characteristic of Crusader copper coinage struck in the County of Edessa during the early twelfth century, showing strong Byzantine influence in its decorative vocabulary. |
