| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of the king facing right, rendered in a stylized late antique manner characteristic of Merovingian coinage. The effigy displays schematic facial features with a prominent eye and simplified drapery at the shoulder. A circular legend surrounds the bust, running along the coin's periphery within the irregular flan. The overall workmanship reflects the provincial Frankish adaptation of Byzantine imperial portrait conventions. |

| Reverse description | A Latin cross, boldly rendered with squared terminals, occupies the center of the field, set above a prominent central pellet. The cross and pellet are enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the mint and royal legend distributed around the periphery. The letters MA below the cross arms denote the Marseille mint. The composition follows the standard Merovingian tremissis reverse type, imitating Byzantine cross-reverse solidi in a highly schematized local style. |
