| Reverse description | Central motif consists of a plain cross with extended arms dividing the field into four quarters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms are bold and slightly tapering, consistent with the first type of Louis VI Château-Landon coinage as catalogued by Duplessy. The surrounding Latin legend, referencing the mint of Château-Landon (Castrum Landonis), runs along the outer margin of the flan. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, as is characteristic of hammered silver half-deniers of this period. The field surfaces show natural granularity and light wear consistent with circulation. |
