| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the Carolingian royal monogram of Charlemagne, composed of the interlaced letters K, A, R, O, L, U, and S, struck in bold relief at the centre of the roughly circular flan. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian ligature style, with individual letter strokes crossing and overlapping to form a complex, architecturally structured device that fills the available field. The legend KRLS is distributed around the periphery of the coin, separated into segments by the projecting arms of the monogram. The hammered flan exhibits the typical irregular edge contour and uneven surface of early medieval silver coinage. The overall style reflects the early Carolingian reform coinage attributed to the reign of Charlemagne prior to the major monetary reform of circa 793–794. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a cross with expanded terminals dividing the field into four quarters, a hallmark of early Carolingian denier design. Above the horizontal arm of the cross, the mint name legend VCE is disposed across the upper field, while CIA appears in the lower field below the crossbar, together spelling VCECIA as an abbreviated form of Uzetia (Uzès). Pellets or globular stops punctuate the spaces between the letter groups, consistent with contemporary Carolingian minting practice. The lettering is rendered in bold, somewhat irregular capital characters, reflecting the hand-cut dies of a provincial Carolingian workshop. The overall composition is typical of the pre-reform coinage struck at the Uzès mint under Charlemagne. |
