| Obverse description | A plain cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding this inner circle, a bold Latin legend in large capital letters reads HLVDOVVICVS IMP, denoting Emperor Louis the Pious. The lettering is rendered in the characteristic bold Carolingian style, with individual letters separated by a small cross serving as an initial punctuation mark. The coin's fabric is irregular, typical of hand-struck Carolingian silver, with the devices showing strong, well-centred relief. |
