| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust facing right, rendered in the debased late antique style typical of Merovingian coinage. Five pellets are arranged on the drapery across the chest, a decorative convention characteristic of the Dorestad mint output. The portrait is stylised and schematic, with strongly linear execution reflecting the gradual abstraction of the imperial prototype. The surrounding legend reads DORESTAT FIT, identifying the mint place, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |
