| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the papal legend is arranged in three horizontal lines separated by plain bars, evoking a tablet or tabula ansata composition. The abbreviated name and title of Pope Gregory IV appear alongside the invocation of Saint Peter, patron of the Roman see. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery between the beaded circle and the outer border. The hammered flan is irregular in outline, typical of Carolingian-era ecclesiastical coinage struck at Rome. |
