| Obverse description | Draped and laureate bust of Emperor Louis the Pious facing right, rendered in a stylized Carolingian manner with visible drapery folds at the shoulder and a laurel wreath upon the head. The effigy is set within a beaded border, occupying the central field. The circumferential legend reads HLVDOVVICVS IMP AVC, distributed around the bust in Latin capital letters typical of early ninth-century Carolingian die-cutting. |
