Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by the Carolingian royal monogram of Karolus, interlacing the letters K, A, R, O, L, U, and S in an elegant ligature, all enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The monogram is executed in high relief with bold, angular strokes characteristic of Carolingian die-cutting. The circular legend, reading CΛRLVS REX FR, runs between the beaded border and the outer rim, identifying the ruler as Charles, King of the Franks. A small cross patée appears at the top of the legend, serving as a punctuation mark. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered issues of this period.

Opschrift voorzijde CΛRLVS REX FR
(Translation: Charles, king of the Franks.)
Beschrijving keerzijde Central motif comprises a cross pattée on three steps, or a stylised altar-cross raised on a triple-stepped base, all set within a plain inner circle enclosed by a beaded border. The cross is rendered in bold relief with slightly splayed arms, consistent with Carolingian workshop conventions. The surrounding legend, reading * MOGONTIΛ, runs between the beaded inner border and the outer rim, identifying the mint city of Mainz. A small cross or star serves as the legend's initial punctuation mark. The flan edges are irregular and slightly cracked, as commonly encountered on hammered silver deniers of the reform coinage of Charlemagne.
