| Obverse description | Diademed bust of a stylized effigy facing right, rendered in the debased Merovingian interpretation of late antique imperial portraiture. The hair is indicated by schematic incised lines, and the diadem is suggested along the crown of the head. The bust is set within a circular legend field, the lettering somewhat irregularly spaced and of provincial workmanship. A cluster of pellets appears above the bust in the upper field, a distinctive feature of this Lyon workshop. |
