| Obverse description | Central cross pattée with a pellet in each of the four quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field bears the royal legend arranged around the circumference between the inner beaded circle and the outer toothed border. The die work is characteristic of Carolingian-derived Italian hammered silver coinage of the late ninth century, with bold, slightly irregular lettering. |

| Reverse description | Stylised temple or church façade depicted frontally, supported by four columns and surmounted by a cross at the apex, all rendered in a flat, schematic manner typical of Carolingian ecclesiastical imagery. The structure is framed within a beaded inner circle, with the religious legend distributed around the circumference between the beaded circle and the outer toothed border. The overall design reflects the Carolingian tradition of associating royal coinage with Christian authority. |
