| Reverse description | A Latin cross pattée with a bifurcated lower arm and a pellet at the termination of each of the remaining three arms, prominently displayed in the central field. A Greek inscription encircles the cross, reading partially (S)TAY9I-C NIXACI, referencing the Holy Cross or a victory invocation in the Byzantine tradition. The overall design reflects the hybrid Crusader artistic vocabulary, blending Latin heraldic cross forms with Greek epigraphy in the manner characteristic of early twelfth-century Edessan civic coinage. |
