| Obverse description | A Carolingian-style monogram composed of interlaced letters, centrally placed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is boldly struck in high relief against a flat field, rendered in the characteristic Carolingian palatine style. A circumscribed legend runs between the beaded inner circle and the outer beaded border of the coin, reading ROMANVS and SCS PETRVS, invoking Pope Romanus and Saint Peter as the apostolic authority of the Roman See. |
