| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Carolingian-style papal monogram of Pope Paschal I, composed of interlaced letters in relief, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic cruciform arrangement typical of early ninth-century Carolingian ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, invoking the name of Saint Peter as apostolic patron of the see. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with surfaces showing the characteristic roughness of hammered silver production. |
