| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a Carolingian-style interlaced monogram of Pope Eugene II, composed of angular and curved letter-strokes, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, separated from the monogram by the beaded border, runs clockwise in capitalised Latin characters. The striking is characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan and variable relief. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a Carolingian interlaced monogram of Emperor Louis I (the Pious), formed by intertwined letters within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in capitalised Latin script encircles the inner beaded border, referencing both Rome and the imperial title. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-hammered early medieval production, and the relief varies across the surface. |
