| Obverse description | Facing bust of St. Peter in high relief, depicted frontally with a nimbus, wearing pontifical vestments and displaying a long beard; the figure is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian hammered style with bold, stylized features. The bust occupies the central field, with the surrounding Latin legend divided by a cross. The inscription S P flanks the bust and identifies the apostle, while BENEDICT P denotes Pope Benedict IV, running around the periphery of the coin. |
