Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the French States. The County of Scodingue, where the coin was minted, was a small region in the north of France that was part of the Carolingian Empire. During this time, the empire was facing challenges from external threats and internal power struggles, which led to the eventual breakup of the empire and the formation of new kingdoms and territories. Despite this turmoil, the minting of coins like this Denier continued, indicating the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
