Reverse description Central field features a cross pattée enclosed within a single inner circle, consistent with the standard Carolingian monetary type. The outer legend, rendered in Carolingian majuscules, reads ✠ NEVERNIS CIVIT, identifying the issuing city of Nevers. The lettering shows the characteristic irregularity of a provincial hammered issue, with some letters partially struck or weakly defined due to uneven die pressure. The overall design conforms to the standard Carolingian temple-and-cross reverse type adapted for the Nevers mint.
