Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the pentalpha, which is a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle. This symbol was used during the reign of King Pepin the Short, who ruled the Frankish Kingdom from 751 to 768 AD, and it represents the five wounds of Christ. The use of this symbol on the coin suggests that it was minted during a time of significant religious and political change in Europe, as the Frankish Kingdom was transitioning from a pagan to a Christian society.
