| Obverse lettering | ✠ CΛRLVS REX FR (Translation: Charles, king of the Franks.) |
| Reverse description | The central field features the Carolingian royal monogram, a cipher combining the letters of KAROLVS, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is composed of interlaced letters in the bold, angular style characteristic of Charlemagne's reform coinage. A Latin legend surrounds the beaded circle, identifying the mint name, with individual letters separated by cross pattées. The overall design conforms to the standard reverse type established by the monetary reform of 793–794. |
