| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field contains a Carolingian monogram composed of interlaced letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads ΛRELΛ CIVIS (City of Arles), introduced by a cross pattée, the lambda-form A being a characteristic epigraphic feature of this Arles mint issue. The flan is irregular and struck on a thin planchet typical of Carolingian obols, with moderate flatness affecting portions of both the monogram and the peripheral legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis III — known as "the Blind" after his capture by Berengar I of Italy in 897, who had him blinded and released as a political non-threat — ruled Lower Burgundy and Provence during one of the most fractured periods of Carolingian dissolution. The Arles mint was among the few functioning royal mints still producing silver at meaningful volume in the region, as Saracen raids along the Rhône corridor had severely disrupted economic activity throughout his reign.
