| Obverse description | The field is divided horizontally by a plain staff or bar, with the royal name CARLVS displayed in large rustic Latin capital letters above and below the dividing line. The letters are bold and irregularly spaced in the characteristic Carolingian hammered style. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The strike is typical of early Carolingian monetary reform issues, with the legend serving as the primary design element rather than a portrait. |
