| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold royal monogram composed of the letters R and F interlaced, standing for Rex Francorum (King of the Franks), rendered in a characteristic Carolingian script style. A horizontal bar surmounts the monogram, a conventional abbreviation mark denoting the royal title. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of hammered coinage of the period. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, with no additional decorative elements in the field. |
