| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of King Liutprand facing right, rendered in the debased late-antique style characteristic of Lombard gold coinage. A single letter appears in the field before the effigy, with the royal name abbreviated across the bust. The entire design is encircled by a beaded border and a Latin legend naming the king and the moneyer Ambros. |

The figure is enclosed within a beaded border and surrounded by a Latin abbreviated legend identifying the archangel. The design reflects the strong religious iconography adopted by Lombard kings during the eighth century. |
