| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a central cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle, from which radiate wedge-shaped segments extending to the outer beaded border, creating a characteristic Carolingian monogram-cross composition. The radiating segments form the stylized royal monogram of Emperor Louis the Pious, a design device emblematic of the reformed Carolingian coinage introduced under his reign. The surrounding field carries the imperial legend in raised Roman capitals. The entire design is executed in the bold, somewhat primitive relief typical of hammered Carolingian silver coinage, with an irregular flan reflecting manual striking techniques. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field displays the mint name DORESTAD arranged in three horizontal lines across the coin's face, reading DOR / ESTA / TVS in large, boldly struck Roman capitals that fill the available flan. A partial beaded border frames the lower and right portions of the design, while the upper field is unbordered due to the irregular flan edge. The inscription identifies the issuing mint of Dorestad, one of the most prolific and commercially important mints of the Carolingian Empire, situated at a key trading node in the Rhine delta. The lettering is characteristic of early ninth-century Carolingian epigraphy, with slightly irregular letterforms consistent with hand-engraved dies. |
