| Obverse description | Epigraphic type obverse featuring the mint name of Strasbourg rendered in bold, blocky Carolingian capital letters arranged across the field in two horizontal lines, reading ARGENTINAVCIVITAS with the letter O above and P below. The inscription is contained within a beaded or cable border following the irregular flan edge. The lettering is characteristic of Carolingian episcopal coinage, deeply struck with broad, angular letterforms typical of early tenth-century Rhenish minting practice. |
