Obverse description Central field features a Carolingian-style papal monogram composed of interlaced letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram references the name of Pope Stephen VII, rendered in the Carolingian chancery tradition characteristic of early medieval Papal coinage. A Latin circular legend surrounds the beaded border, invoking the authority of the issuing pontiff and Saint Paul. The overall design follows the established Carolingian denier type, with the field showing the typical flat, hammered relief and irregular flan characteristic of ninth- and tenth-century Roman ecclesiastical issues.
