| Obverse description | Carolingian royal monogram of Charles II (Karolus monogram) occupying the central field, composed of interlaced letters within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian style with interlocking strokes forming the letters K, A, R, O, L, and S. A circular Latin legend reading ✠ GRΛTIΛ D-I REX surrounds the beaded border, invoking Charles's royal authority by divine grace. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, as is typical of hand-struck Carolingian deniers of this period. |
