| Reverse description | The reverse features a plain cross at center, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. The retrograde circular legend AQVI+TANIA surrounds the beaded circle, identifying the territory of Aquitaine. The cross is rendered in the simple Carolingian style typical of obol coinage of this period, and the overall design reflects the standardized monetary reform issues of Louis I as King of Aquitaine. |
