| Obverse lettering | ✠ ✜D✜ REX F (Translation: Odo, king of the Franks.) |
| Reverse description | A plain cross with elongated shaft occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle typical of Carolingian monetary convention. The cross divides the inner zone into four equal quadrants. A circular Latin legend naming the mint of Limoges surrounds the beaded circle, with letters distributed across the periphery. The hammered flan displays the characteristic irregular outline and uneven surface relief of late ninth-century West Frankish provincial coinage. |
