Beschrijving voorzijde	A prominent long cross on two steps dominates the field, its vertical and horizontal arms dividing the legend into three textual segments arranged around the cross. The inscription HADRIANVS PAPA, identifying Pope Adrian I, is distributed across the four quadrants formed by the cross arms in characteristic Carolingian denier style. The lettering is rendered in bold, somewhat irregular Roman capitals, reflecting the hand-cut craftsmanship of hammered coinage. The flan is irregular in outline with a plain, undecorated border. The overall composition is purely epigraphic, with no figural imagery.

Opschrift voorzijde	HADRI ANVS PAPA (Translation: Pope Adrian.)
Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse presents a purely epigraphic design composed of three lines of abbreviated Latin legend arranged within a structured field, surmounted by a horizontal bar terminating in a crosslet above. The inscription SCI PETRI, an abbreviation for Sancti Petri (Saint Peter), is distributed across the three lines, invoking the apostolic authority of the Roman See. The lettering is executed in bold, somewhat irregular Roman capitals consistent with the hammered technique of the period. A beaded border encircles the entire design, visible around much of the flan's periphery. The composition reflects the Carolingian-era papal denier tradition of combining religious invocation with minimal decorative elements.
