| Obverse description | Highly schematized and stylized bust facing right, rendered in the debased Merovingian tradition with strongly abstracted facial features. The effigy is surrounded by a circular border of pellets or beaded elements, with the legend arranged around the periphery of the field. The design reflects the progressive degeneration of late antique portraiture characteristic of Frankish gold coinage of the early 7th century. |
