背面描述	A plain cross extending to the inner circle, with pellets placed in the second and third quarters, divides the central field within a beaded border. This cross-and-pellet design is characteristic of Carolingian mint issues of the Grace reform coinage (Edict of Pîtres, 864). The mint name legend, introduced by a cross pattée, encircles the design in the outer annulus, identifying the Quentovic mint, one of the most prolific and commercially significant minting centres of the Carolingian realm.

附加信息	The Quentovic mint sat at the mouth of the Canche River in what is now the Pas-de-Calais — one of the most strategically vital trading ports in the Carolingian world, linking Francia directly to England and Frisian markets. Its output was substantial enough that Viking raiders sacked the settlement repeatedly, effectively destroying it as a functioning town by the late ninth century. This obol falls within the window defined by the Edict of Pîtres in 864, through which Charles II overhauled Frankish coinage and restricted minting rights to specified royal sites, Quentovic among them.
