| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field features the elaborate Carolingian royal monogram, composed of the interlaced letters of KAROLVS within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the distinctive Carolingian style with interlocking strokes forming a cross-like cipher. The peripheral legend ROTOMAGVS, denoting the mint of Rouen, encircles the monogram in bold hammered Latin capitals, with a small cross mark at the top serving as a stop. The overall design is characteristic of Charlemagne's monetary reform coinage, presenting the royal monogram as the principal device in lieu of a figurative portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charlemagne's monetary reform of c. 793–794, enacted through the Capitulary of Frankfurt, replaced the lighter Merovingian denier with a heavier silver standard — the same reform that established the pound-shilling-penny accounting system Europe would use for the next millennium. Rouen, as the administrative capital of Neustria and a major Loire trade hub, was among the active minting centers under this reorganization.
The Prou reference absence is worth noting: Prou's catalogue gaps for certain Carolingian mint attributions are well documented, and the Depeyroux number here carries the weight of the attribution.
