| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized facing or frontal bust rendered in a highly schematic, early medieval manner, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The design is executed with crude but intentional strokes characteristic of Lombard hammered coinage. Fourteen pellets are distributed around the bust within the beaded border, serving as the defining diagnostic feature of this emission. The overall style reflects the degenerate late antique artistic tradition as adapted by Lombard moneyers of the seventh century. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the monogram or abbreviated legend 'PE R' (for Perctarit Rex), rendered in bold, blocky capital letters within a beaded inner circle. The letters are accompanied by groups of pellets arranged symmetrically in the field, contributing to the fourteen-dot diagnostic count. The reverse composition is stark and heraldic in character, consistent with the simplified epigraphic conventions of Lombard silver coinage of the late seventh century. The beaded border encloses the design neatly, with the surrounding area of the flan left plain. |
