| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Peter rendered in a stylized, hieratic manner characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The saint is depicted wearing a nimbed headdress and draped vestments, with a simplified facial treatment featuring large, staring eyes and a short beard. The legend SCS PETRVS (Saint Peter) flanks the bust on either side in bold Latin majuscules, identifying the apostolic patron of Rome. The engraving exhibits the flat, linear quality typical of Carolingian-era hammered silver deniers struck at Rome. |
