| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée at center, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend MELDIS CIVITAS identifying the mint city of Meaux. The cross motif divides the field into four equal quadrants. The style is consistent with mid-11th-century French episcopal small coinage, with the lettering distributed evenly around the outer border. The overall design follows the standard format of feudal deniers and their half-denomination obols struck in the Champagne region. |
