| Obverse description | Central field features a Carolingian-style papal monogram composed of interlaced letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram references Pope Valentine and is rendered in the characteristic hammered relief of the period. A surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits the typical irregular, roughly circular flan of early medieval hammered coinage, with visible flan cracks consistent with the period of manufacture. |
