| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two-line inscription in the field reading CAR LOM, referencing the name of King Carloman I, rendered in bold, somewhat irregular hammered capital letters characteristic of early Carolingian coinage. A border of pellets surrounds the central legend, framing the design on the irregularly shaped flan. The lettering is deeply struck but shows the typical crude workmanship associated with eighth-century Frankish deniers. No royal effigy or additional decorative element is present, the design relying solely on the royal name inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carloman I ruled jointly with his brother Charlemagne for just three years before his death in 771 — at which point Charlemagne absorbed his territories entirely, sidelining Carloman's infant sons and forcing his widow Gerberga into exile in Lombardy. Coins struck under Carloman's sole authority during this narrow window are consequently rare; the joint reign produced a fragmented minting geography, with abbeys and episcopal centers operating under competing administrative pressures.
The Holy Cross Abbey attribution anchors this piece to a specific ecclesiastical minting privilege — rare documentation for the period, which is why Prou's catalog carries no entry for this type.
