| Reverse description | Central cross pattee on a stepped base or globe, rendered in bold relief and enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The field between the cross arms contains the mint monogram or letter M alongside additional decorative elements. The surrounding legend HILDEBERTVS RXI M Λ, disposed in an irregular arrangement around the beaded border, references King Childebert IV and the Marseille mint. The execution is characteristic of late Merovingian coinage, with crude but vigorous lettering and a strong central cross motif asserting Christian authority. |
