| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée is prominently struck in the central field, likewise enclosed within a raised inner circle. The peripheral legend, reading XPICTIANA RELIGIO (Christian religion), encircles the cross in Latin characters, with a star or cross-shaped ornament marking the beginning of the inscription. The overall design mirrors the obverse in its bold, simplified Carolingian style, characteristic of the reform coinage struck under Louis the Pious. |
