| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the bold monogram 'RP' (Rex Pippinus — King Pepin), rendered in large, deeply struck capital letters characteristic of early Carolingian hammered coinage. A horizontal bar or tablet appears above the monogram, possibly representing a stylized crown or titulary element. The coin is bordered by a beaded or pellet border following the irregular flan outline. The style is archaic and robust, consistent with mid-8th century Frankish mint practice. |
