Beschrijving voorzijde The obverse displays a bold monogram in the field, composed of the interlaced letters R, F, and P — the royal Carolingian monogram standing for REX FRANCORUM PIPPINUS (Pepin, King of the Franks). The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian style with angular, interlocking strokes. A cross element is integrated into the lower portion of the design, a common feature of early Carolingian coinage. Two pellets flank the field, serving as decorative stops. The die work is typical of the hammered silver deniers of the mid-eighth century, with irregular flan edges.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse depicts a stylized standing figure, interpreted as a bishop or ecclesiastical patron saint associated with Chartres, rendered in the schematic, linear style typical of early Carolingian mint production. The figure stands facing forward with arms slightly extended, flanked to the left by a square frame containing a central pellet — likely representing a church or reliquary — surmounted by a cross. To the right, a serpentine or scroll motif is visible. A single pellet appears below the figure in the lower field. The overall composition identifies this as the Chartres mint type, referencing the city's religious identity.
