Denier - Pepin the Short Nantes mint

Obverse description	Central field occupied by the royal monogram of Pepin the Short, composed of interlaced Latin letters forming the name PEPINVS REX FRANCORVM, surmounted by a horizontal line. The monogram is rendered in relief in the characteristic Carolingian ligature style, with letters R, P, and F clearly discernible within the design. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the hand-hammered coinage of the period. No border or peripheral legend is present, the monogram filling nearly the entire die surface.

Reverse description	Central field displays the mint monogram for Nantes (NAMNETES), rendered as an interlaced Carolingian ligature in bold relief. The monogram is composed of the letters N, A, M, and E interlocked in a compact design typical of Frankish ecclesiastical and regal coinage of the mid-eighth century. A border of small beads or pellets encircles the design, partially visible along the periphery of the irregular flan. The overall execution is characteristic of provincial Carolingian die-cutting, with slight weakness in strike on portions of the coin.
