Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Arnulf (Pavia) (896-899) coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian States, which encompassed much of Western Europe, were in the process of breaking apart, and the Kingdom of Italy was one of the resulting entities. This coin, made of silver and weighing 1.70 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions during this time of upheaval, and its design may have reflected the political and cultural influences of the era.
