| Obverse description | Stylized bust of Charlemagne facing right, depicted in a medieval engraving style with helmet and draped mantle, occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in a deliberately archaic manner evoking Carolingian coinage. The upper legend reads KAROLVS IMPAVS in bold raised lettering arranged along the inner beaded border, while the lower legend VOT CE SRNB appears below the bust. The entire design is framed by a continuous beaded circle near the rim, lending the piece a historical character consistent with its Carolingian theme. Engravers' initials KMB and MRB appear on the coin. |
