| Reverse description | A bold Latin cross occupies the centre of the field, with each arm terminating in a globus adorned with two pellets; a central X decorates the crossing point. Crescent moons appear in the upper left and upper right fields, while a stylized floral or foliate scroll fills the space below the cross. The overall design reflects the fusion of Crusader heraldic and Byzantine decorative traditions characteristic of Edessan copper coinage. |
