A man faces to our right in profile in low relief on this gold, round medallion. The man has heavy-lidded eyes under low brows, a slightly bumped nose, and his lips are closed. He has chin-length, curly hair, a tapered, pointed beard, and a thin mustache that points up. A high, flat collar hugs his jawline under armor decorated with stylized faces on the shoulders. A chain and pendant lies over his chest. A Latin inscription lines the perimeter: “CAROLVS I D:G MAG BRITANN FRAN ET HIB REX.” In smaller letters to the left at the start of the inscription is the artist’s name, “Briot.”
