| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a plain cross pattee with expanded terminals, dividing the field into four quarters, a design common to Carolingian-influenced episcopal deniers of the region. The cross is rendered in bold, slightly uneven relief typical of hammered coinage of the early eleventh century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the cross, reading + AALGODVS EPssS, identifying the issuing bishop Adalgodus II as episcopal authority. The overall composition follows established conventions of Rhenish and Burgundian ecclesiastical coinage of the period, with the legend running close to the edge of the irregularly shaped flan. |
