| Reverse description | Central field displays a horizontal bar or line above a large letter D and a letter R or F arranged in a cross-like composition, with a central pellet visible between the main characters, all enclosed within a beaded circle. The lettering is rendered in an archaic Carolingian majuscule style, deeply struck in relief on the irregularly shaped flan. A horizontal line surmounts the inscription field, serving as a dividing element characteristic of early Frankish denier reverses. The overall design reflects the rudimentary die-cutting style of the earliest Carolingian monetary reform issues attributed to the reign of Carloman I (768–771). |
