| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the field displays a bold royal monogram composed of the interlaced letters R and P — a ligature abbreviating REX PIPPINUS (King Pepin) — rendered in a large, archaic Carolingian style characteristic of early Frankish coinage. The monogram occupies virtually the entire flan, with no additional legend or subsidiary device. The coin's irregular flan and hammered execution are typical of mid-eighth-century Frankish mint production. |
