HLVDOVVICVS IMP AVG (Laureate and draped bust of Louis The Pious on the right, one globule above the letter H).

MEDIOLANVM (circular legend around a tetrastyle temple on two degrees and surmounted by a cross; a cross in the middle of the temple).

On this coin, the globule above the letter H on the obverse is very small and could be just a simple break. However, one can reasonably think that it is a globule because the two other variants show a very clear globule and positioned elsewhere.
