| Reverse description | A cross potent set upon a globe occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief typical of Merovingian craftsmanship. The letters C and G flank the cross, while V and II flank the globe below, serving as control marks or mint indicators. The design is a barbarous imitation of the Byzantine tremissis reverse type, with the cross potent symbolizing the Victory cross. A partially legible Latin legend encircles the design within the irregular flan. |
