| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded border, the abbreviated royal inscription K Rx F — Karolus Rex Francorum (Charles, King of the Franks) — is displayed in crude, crudely engraved majuscule Latin letters arranged across the field in two or three lines, surmounted by a horizontal bar or titulus above the monogram group. The lettering is characteristic of the early Carolingian hammered style, with irregular spacing and rudimentary execution typical of the pre-reform coinage of Charlemagne's earliest regal years. The overall layout is aniconic, devoid of portraiture, reflecting the transitional Merovingian-to-Carolingian monetary tradition. |

Struck during Charlemagne's sole reign over the Frankish kingdoms — before the conquest of Lombardy and the absorption of Saxony had transformed the empire — this denier belongs to the earliest phase of a coinage reform that would eventually standardize silver currency across most of Western Europe. The Roses mint attribution remains a point of scholarly debate; Gariel placed it tentatively, and Morrison's cataloging reflects residual uncertainty about several Carolingian provincial attributions from this period. The "K Rx F" formula — Karl Rex Francorum — dates the piece precisely to before 771, when Carloman's death made fraternal partition irrelevant.
