| Obverse description | Monogram composed of the linked letters ME, rendered in bold relief and occupying the majority of the field, serving as a mint signature for Metz. The monogram is formed in the characteristic Merovingian interlaced style, with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical hammered texture of the period. |
