| Reverse description | A cross on four steps (cross potent on steps) occupies the central field, with a single letter or monogram to the left and to the right of the cross, referencing the Beneventan authority of Gottschalk. The design follows the standard Byzantine solidus reverse composition but rendered in the provincial Lombard hammered style with notable stylistic simplification. The surrounding Latin legend refers to the victory of the August and identifies Gottschalk as lord, with the CONOB mint mark in the exergue denoting the imitative reference to Constantinople. |
