| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse bears the royal name CAROLVS (Charles) arranged in two lines across the field in bold, slightly irregular Roman capital letters characteristic of early Carolingian hammered coinage. The lettering is deeply struck and occupies most of the flan, with the inscription split as CARO on the upper line and LVS on the lower, reflecting the two-line monogram-style layout typical of this early issue. The flat, unadorned field around the legend shows the irregular flan edges common to hand-struck deniers of the period. No effigy or border ornament is present, consistent with the pre-reform coinage of Charlemagne prior to the introduction of the cross-and-monogram type. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a small, compact cross at the centre of the field, its arms of roughly equal length in the early Carolingian style. A circular Latin legend surrounds the cross, reading SCI CRVCIS (Holy Cross), referencing the ecclesiastical authority of the Holy Cross Abbey under whose patronage this denier was struck. The legend is rendered in Roman capitals, somewhat unevenly spaced around the circumference due to the hand-hammered technique. The field shows characteristic patchy silver surface with areas of light green oxidation, and the irregular flan edge is consistent with other surviving examples of this emission. No border of dots or inner circle is present, keeping the design austere and functional. |
