| Obverse description | A royal Carolingian monogram occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram, rendered in the characteristic interlaced style of the West Frankish royal coinage, represents the name of King Ralph (Radulf). A Latin legend surrounds the beaded circle in the outer field, reading clockwise from a cross pattée. The hammered flan exhibits the characteristic irregular fabric of tenth-century French royal deniers. |
