| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the Carolingian royal monogram KRLS (Karolus) occupies the central field, composed of interlaced letters in the characteristic Carolingian monogram style. A circular legend surrounds the inner beaded border, reading in Latin capitals separated by a cross. The overall design is typical of early Carolingian monetary reform coinage, with the royal name expressed as a cipher rather than a portrait, reflecting Frankish administrative and regal authority. |
