| Obverse description | Facing or slightly right-turned bust of King Aripert II in the field, depicted in the late antique Byzantine imperial style characteristic of Lombard coinage. The king is shown with long stylized hair and wearing royal regalia, rendered in a schematic, flat manner typical of early medieval hammered gold coinage. A beaded border encircles the design. The legend D N AR - IPE RX N, reading Dominus Noster Aripert Rex, surrounds the bust, identifying the ruler as sovereign. The flan is irregular, as is common for hammered tremisses of this period. |
