| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by the Carolingian royal monogram of Carloman I, formed by an interlaced combination of the letters C, A, R, L, and O in bold, deeply struck relief. The monogram is surmounted by a horizontal bar, a characteristic feature of Carolingian royal deniers of this period. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, typical of Frankish hammered coinage of the late 8th century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The moneyer's name LEVTBRA (abbreviated form of Liutprand) arranged in retrograde or irregular fashion around a central pointed annulet, the letters disposed radially in the field in the distinctive Carolingian manner. Small pellets and wedge-shaped letter terminals punctuate the design, all contained within a beaded border. This arrangement is characteristic of Frankish deniers attributed to named moneyers active under Carloman I. |

Carloman I ruled jointly with his brother Charlemagne following the death of Pepin the Short in 768, but the partnership was fractious from the start — the two kings divided the Frankish realm and largely avoided coordinating policy. When Carloman died in December 771 after just three years of reign, Charlemagne moved immediately to absorb his brother's territories, sidelining Carloman's young sons entirely. Coins from this reign are consequently among the rarest Carolingian issues by simple virtue of the window being so narrow.
The moneyer Liutprand is attested across the Gariel and Morrison corpora as active during this period, placing this piece within that compressed three-year window with reasonable confidence.
