| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Carolingian-style papal monogram of Pope Theodore II, composed of interlaced letters within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the angular, architectural manner typical of late 9th-century Roman coinage. A circular Latin legend runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer border, invoking the name of the pope and Saint Peter. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, characteristic of hammered silver production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the Carolingian city monogram of Roma, flanked by two pellets, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is boldly struck in the interlaced Carolingian style, denoting the mint city of Rome. A circular Latin legend runs in the outer zone between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular edge, naming Emperor Lambert of Spoleto with his imperial title. The overall style and execution are consistent with late 9th-century papal coinage struck at the Roman mint. |
