| Obverse description | Carolingian royal monogram of Carlus (Charles the Bald) occupying the central field, composed of interlaced letters forming a cross-like device, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads BΛRCINONΛ, inscribed between two concentric solid circles, with a cross preceding the inscription. The die work is typical of ninth-century Carolingian hammered coinage, with characteristic irregular flan and bold relief lettering. |
