| Obverse description | Central cross with a pellet in each of the four quarters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The royal legend surrounds the central motif in the outer field, rendered in crude but legible Carolingian lettering characteristic of late 9th- to early 10th-century hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the periphery, typical of hand-struck obols of this period. The design follows the standard Carolingian cross-and-legend type established under Charles the Bald and continued by his successors. |
