| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée occupying the central field, dividing the coin into four equal quadrants. The circumferential legend LVCDVNI CIVIS, denoting the city of Lyon, runs between an inner beaded circle and the coin's edge. The lettering is bold and angular, consistent with early medieval hammered coinage, and the overall design reflects the ecclesiastical and feudal coinage traditions of tenth-century Burgundy. |
