| Obverse description | Central Carolingian royal monogram composed of interlaced letters forming the name KAROLUS, set within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian style, with geometric interlacing typical of the reign of Charles II (the Bald). A circular Latin legend reading GRATIA D I REX surrounds the beaded circle, invoking royal authority by divine grace. The flan is irregular and slightly polygonal, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. |
