| Obverse description | Crude hammered silver flan of irregular, slightly trapezoidal form. The obverse field bears the monogram 'RP' (Rex Pippinus) rendered in bold, deeply incuse strokes characteristic of early Carolingian die-cutting. The letters are large relative to the flan, occupying nearly the entire field, with no border or legend framing the design. The surface exhibits typical wear and die-rust consistent with eighth-century hammered coinage, and the flan edge is ragged and uneven. |
