| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a thin monogram of the letters P and R, representing the name of King Perctarit, rendered in simple linear strokes. The monogram is surrounded by a ring of eleven pellets arranged in a circular border, a distinctive feature identifying this posthumous issue. The overall design is set within an irregular flan typical of hammered Lombard silver coinage. The style is archaic and schematic, consistent with late 7th to early 8th century Lombard mint practice. |
