| Obverse description | Schematized draped and diademed bust facing right in the debased Late Antique manner characteristic of Merovingian gold coinage. Facial features are rendered in a stylized, almost abstract fashion, with a prominent diadem across the forehead and drapery indicated by linear folds at the shoulder and chest. A beaded inner circle encloses the effigy. The abbreviated mint name TRICAS appears in the field, referencing Troyes (ancient Tricasses), lettered in the irregular Latin capitals typical of seventh-century Frankish moneyers. |
