| Obverse description | Two lines of Latin legend arranged within a beaded inner circle, with a further circular legend running around the periphery. The central field displays the abbreviated papal name and invocation to Saint Peter in two horizontal lines, separated by a cross pattée. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of early medieval hammered silver, with a somewhat crude but legible execution characteristic of Carolingian-era papal coinage. |
