| Obverse description | Two large capital letters R and P displayed prominently in the field, rendered in bold, slightly archaic Carolingian majuscules, serving as a royal monogram for Rex Pippinus (King Pepin). A horizontal bar surmounts the monogram, functioning as an abbreviation mark characteristic of early medieval Latin epigraphy. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the typical rough texture of eighth-century hammered coinage. |
