| Obverse description | Two-line monogram legend in the field, formed by the interlaced letters of the royal name CAROLVS, presented as a stylized Carolingian monogram. The inscription is arranged in two registers across the coin face, with the upper line reading CΛRO and the lower line LVS, together abbreviating the name of Charlemagne. The lettering is rendered in bold, raised relief characteristic of early Carolingian hammered coinage. A beaded border surrounds the entire design. |
