| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the bold monogram 'RP' (Rex Pepin) rendered in large interlaced capital letters, with a horizontal bar surmounting the design. A pellet appears at the center of the monogram. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border, typical of Carolingian hammered silver coinage. The irregular flan and characteristic die style reflect early medieval workshop production. |
