| Obverse description | A Carolingian-style cruciform monogram composed of the letters of STEPHANUS is displayed prominently at the center of the field, formed as an interlaced cross design within a plain beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in bold relief typical of Carolingian hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, invoking the name of the pope and the apostolic patron saint. The overall design follows the Carolingian denier tradition established under Charlemagne, adapted for papal authority. |
