| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | ✠ PIPPHVS REX (Translation: King Pepin.) |
| Reverse description | The central field bears the Carolingian royal monogram, formed from the interlaced letters of the name PIPINVS, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend TOLOSA CIVI, denoting the city of Toulouse as the place of issue, runs around the periphery in Carolingian majuscule script, introduced by a cross pattée. The execution is characteristic of Aquitainian provincial mint work, with irregular letter spacing consistent with hand-hammered production of the 845–848 period. |
