| Obverse description | Central plain cross with a single pellet in each of the four quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The overall design is characteristic of Carolingian monetary tradition, executed in the crude hammered style typical of late 9th-century Italian deniers. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, reading outward toward the coin's rim. |

| Reverse description | Stylised temple or church facade depicted with a triangular pediment supported by four columns, rendered in the schematic manner common to Carolingian-era Italian coinage. The architectural motif occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, evoking the Carolingian XPISTIANA RELIGIO temple type introduced under Louis the Pious. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, referencing the Christian faith. |
