| Obverse description | A plain cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms extend to the inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. A Latin legend reading VLOTVICI REX (Louis, King) runs continuously around the periphery outside the beaded circle, executed in the characteristic Carolingian majuscule lettering typical of 10th-century West Frankish coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered production of the period. |
