| Obverse description | Central field features an elaborate Carolingian monogram composed of interlaced letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A small cross or croisette appears above the monogram as a control mark. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, reads in Latin around the periphery of the irregularly struck flan. The overall design follows the Carolingian denier tradition adapted for papal coinage issued jointly in the name of Pope Gregory IV and Emperor Louis the Pious. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a bold Carolingian monogram formed by interlocking capital letters, enclosed within a beaded inner circle characteristic of Carolingian-era hammered coinage. The monogram is rendered in high relief, exhibiting the angular, interlaced style typical of ninth-century Roman mint production. A peripheral Latin legend runs around the outer edge of the flan, naming Emperor Louis the Pious. The reverse design mirrors the obverse in format, reflecting the dual authority of Pope and Emperor expressed on this jointly issued coinage. |
