| Reverse description | Central field presents a bold geometric design composed of a cross-in-square or wheel motif within a beaded inner circle, evoking the Carolingian monogram or city emblem traditional to north Italian communal deniers. A dot is visible at the centre of the design, flanked by letters forming part of the royal name. The surrounding legend reads REGIS SICVNDI RA CON DI, invoking the authority of King Conrad, distributed around the outer border with separating pellets or crosses. The flan is irregular and slightly cupped, consistent with hammered billon production of the period. |
