| Reverse description | Central field displays a Carolingian imperial monogram for Ludovicus (Louis the Pious), flanked by two pellets in the field, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in bold interlaced letterforms characteristic of Carolingian-era coinage. A circular peripheral legend surrounds the beaded border, identifying the emperor. The overall die work reflects the joint ecclesiastical and imperial authority expressed on Papal-Carolingian coinage of the early ninth century. |
