| Reverse description | Stylised vegetable or foliate ornaments fill the central field, composed of intertwining curvilinear branches with pellet terminals arranged symmetrically around a central point, a decorative motif characteristic of Carolingian-influenced Catalan obol coinage. The legend GIRNDA (a contracted form of Gerona) appears around the periphery. The design is rendered in a bold, if somewhat rough, hammered style consistent with the workshop production of the County of Girona during the 10th–11th centuries. |
