Obverse description Diademed and draped bust of a ruler facing right, rendered in the debased late antique style characteristic of Merovingian coinage. The effigy is schematically executed, with a beaded diadem visible above the head and a simplified drapery indicated at the shoulder. The surrounding field carries a circular Latin legend reading METTIS CIVETATI, denoting the mint city of Metz. The lettering is bold and slightly irregular, typical of hammered Merovingian tremisses, with pellets used as decorative separators.
