| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized temple or church façade in the central field, rendered in schematic form with a rectangular outline and vertical lines suggesting columns or a portal, consistent with the Lyon mint type derived from Carolingian architectural motifs. The structure is set within a plain inner rectangle. The circular Latin legend LVGVDVNVS surrounds the design along the outer rim, preceded by a cross, identifying the Lyon mint. The flan is irregular and the strike slightly weak at the edges, as is typical of hammered feudal billon coinage of this period. |
