Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Carloman I (Arles) (768-771) coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross with curved arms - that sets it apart from other coins of the same era. This design element has been interpreted as a symbol of the Carolingian Empire's Christian faith and its influence on the coinage of the time.
