| Obverse description | Inscription arranged in three horizontal lines across the field, each line separated by a raised bar or rule. The legend reads D-N / LEONI / PAPE in large, bold Carolingian majuscule letters, invoking Pope Leo III as 'Our Lord the Pope Leo.' The lettering is primitively engraved in the hammered style typical of early medieval papal coinage, with pellets flanking the first line. The overall composition is purely epigraphic, with no figural elements on this face. |
