| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized monogram of Charles (KAROLVS) rendered in interlaced Carolingian script, set within a decorative cross-based design with ornamental elements in each quadrant. The monogram is enclosed within a circular border. A Latin legend surrounds the central motif, reading GRATIA DI REX, attributing royal authority by divine grace. The hammered flan displays the characteristic irregular fabric typical of ninth-century Carolingian coinage. |
