| Obverse description | The field is divided into four quadrants by a central cross topped with a sceptre and crown, featuring a crowned effigy of Charlemagne at the bottom centre flanked by two gold-plated replicas of his Carolingian denarius coins (ca. 793), one inscribed CARLVS REX FR and the other DORESTADO. The upper left quadrant depicts a Romanesque cathedral facade in relief, while the upper right shows a crowned lion warrior, all surrounded by a circular legend. |
