| Obverse description | A Carolingian-style papal monogram composed of interlaced letters, centrally placed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram incorporates the letters of SERGIUS in an intricate cruciform arrangement typical of 9th-century ecclesiastical coinage. A surrounding legend in Latin occupies the flat field between the beaded circle and the irregular coin edge, invoking the authority of Pope Sergius and Saint Peter. The execution is characteristic of the hammered silver deniers struck at Rome during the joint pontifical-imperial coinage period. |
