| Obverse lettering | ADR ✠ SCS PETRVS (Translation: Adrian. Saint Peter.) |
| Reverse description | Central field displays the LVDOVVICVS monogram of Emperor Louis II, rendered as an interlaced cipher within a beaded inner circle, with a small cross visible within the monogram itself. The surrounding outer legend, separated by a cross, reads ROMA and LVDOVVICVS IP, identifying both the city of Rome and the emperor's title of Imperator. The reverse composition closely mirrors the obverse layout, reflecting the dual authority of pope and emperor over the city of Rome, consistent with Carolingian joint-issue coinage conventions. |
