| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Emperor Lothair I facing right, rendered in a late Carolingian portrait style evoking Roman imperial coinage. The emperor's hair is depicted with fine striated lines beneath the diadem, and the bust is shown with a cuirass or draped shoulders. The imperial legend surrounds the effigy within a beaded or plain border, with the inscription distributed around the periphery of the field. |
