| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features the inscription 'RX F' (Rex Francorum), arranged between two horizontal bars that divide the design into registers, all enclosed within a beaded or pellet border circle. The lettering is presented in a bold, somewhat crude Carolingian hand, with the characters occupying the space between the horizontal lines in a manner consistent with early Frankish monetary convention. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface porosity and edge irregularities typical of eighth-century hammered silver production. The overall layout reflects the transitional monetary style of Pepin the Short's reform coinage. |

Pepin the Short's monetary reform of 755 — or thereabouts, the precise date remains debated — systematically reorganized Frankish coinage around a heavier silver denier standard, making the obol, its half, a theoretically tidy subdivision that saw comparatively little actual production. The near-total absence of reference numbers across Nouchy, Prou, and Gariel is not a cataloguing oversight; it reflects genuine rarity in the surviving record.
Pepin's reform also transferred minting authority progressively toward royal control, pulling it away from the ecclesiastical and aristocratic moneyers who had dominated under the Merovingians.
