| Obverse description | Central field displays the Carolingian royal monogram of Charles II (Carolus), formed by the interlaced letters K, A, R, O, L, U, and S in a bold raised design. The monogram is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential legend reads ✠ CRΛTIΛ D-I REX, invoking Charles's divine right to kingship, rendered in Carolingian majuscule letters characteristic of the period. The overall execution reflects the hammered technique typical of ninth-century Frankish coinage, with the flan exhibiting the irregular outline and slight surface relief common to issues of this era. |
