Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin of Carloman II (Arles) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of Carolingian coinage during that period.
