| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Carolingian royal monogram composed of the letters R and F (Rex Francorum), rendered in an interlaced style characteristic of early Carolingian coinage. The monogram is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend distributed around the periphery. The legends read in a continuous band separated by pellet stops, identifying Charlemagne as lord and king of the Franks. The overall design reflects the transitional Carolingian hammered gold coinage style of the late 8th century. |
