| Reverse description | The reverse carries the mint or territorial name AQVI TANIA (Aquitaine) arranged in two horizontal lines across the field, separated by a central pellet or dividing point. The bold, deeply struck Carolingian capital letters fill the flan, with the legend contained within a beaded outer border visible along the lower rim. This two-line reverse legend type is characteristic of Carolingian royal obols struck for the sub-kingdom of Aquitaine during the reign of Charles II. |
