| Reverse description | Central field displays a cross pattée or cross motif enclosed within a beaded or rope-like inner circle, consistent with Carolingian monetary conventions. The cross divides the inner field into quadrants and serves as the principal type for this Orléans mint issue. The surrounding legend reads ✠ ΛVRELIΛNIS CIΛS, identifying the mint city of Orléans (Aurelianum), struck in a somewhat worn and irregular manner reflecting the small module and hammered technique of this half-obol denomination. The flan is notably uneven at the edges, typical of surviving examples of this rare type. |
