Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Arnulf (Toul) (887-899) from Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.17 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which was established by Charlemagne in the 8th century, was beginning to break apart and Lotharingia, where this coin was minted, was one of the territories that emerged from the empire's dissolution. This coin, which features the image of King Arnulf, is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from this time period and region, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
