Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pepin the Short, who was the first King of the Franks to issue a standardized coinage across his kingdom. This coin, the Denier at anchored cross (Paris), was part of that standardized currency system and features an anchor symbol on one side, which represents the Christian faith and the hope of salvation.
