| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold Carolingian monogram reading CAROLVS, formed by the interlacing of the letters C, A, R, O, L, V, and S in a compact cruciform arrangement. The lettering is rendered in a robust, slightly irregular hand characteristic of early Carolingian hammered coinage. The coin exhibits a plain inner field with a beaded border running along the rim. The flan is slightly irregular and shows minor clipping, typical of the period. No effigy or figurative element is present; the monogram itself serves as the principal design. |
