| Reverse description | A plain cross pattee placed centrally within the field, enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The cross, a standard Carolingian reverse type, divides the inner field into four quadrants and is rendered with simple, bold strokes typical of hammered coinage of this period. The Latin legend DVN CASTR (Chateaudun), denoting the mint town of Chateaudun in the county of Dunois, runs around the periphery between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular edge, with lozenge-shaped word separators between elements. |
