| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Carolingian royal monogram of Charles III, composed of interlaced letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian style, with bold, deeply struck strokes typical of the Reims mint workshop. A circular legend in Latin capital letters surrounds the beaded border, reading clockwise from a cross pattée. The overall design follows the established Carolingian denier tradition initiated under Charlemagne, with the royal monogram serving as the primary identifier of royal authority. |
