| Reverse description | Central field displays a plain cross pattee set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants, a design derived from Carolingian solidus prototypes struck at Dorestad. The surrounding area bears large, crudely rendered Latin letters forming the mint name legend, with the lettering exhibiting the degenerate, semi-barbarous style typical of post-Carolingian Frisian imitations. The overall execution is characteristic of a local workshop copying the authoritative Dorestad type for regional trade circulation. |
