Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Carloman I (moneyer Liutprand) (768-771) made of Silver weighing 1.34 g is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Carloman I, who was the King of the Franks from 768 to 771, and it was minted by Liutprand, who was a prominent moneyer of the time. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier from this period, as most coins from this time were made of gold or other base metals. Additionally, the coin features an interesting design, with an image of Carloman I on one side and a cross on the other, which reflects the influence of Christianity during this time period.
