| Obverse description | Diademed draped bust of King Childeric II facing right, rendered in the debased late antique style characteristic of Merovingian coinage. The effigy is schematically executed, with visible drapery folds at the shoulder and a diadem indicated atop the head. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading CHIL-ILVS C, abbreviating the royal name and title. The overall style reflects the progressive stylization typical of seventh-century Frankish monetary production. |
