Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Arnulf (Regensburg) (887-899) coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross with curved arms - that was used specifically during Arnulf's reign. This design was meant to symbolize the connection between the Christian faith and the Carolingian Empire.
