| Reverse description | The reverse presents a circular Latin legend arranged around the field, naming the mint of Trier. The lettering follows the inner edge of the coin in a continuous circular arrangement, a standard convention for Carolingian deniers and obols of this era. The flan surface is rough and uneven due to the hammered technique, with some weakness in strike visible across the field. The inscription identifies the issuing mint and reflects the administrative reorganisation of the Frankish monetary system under Pepin the Short. |
