Comment
There are varieties in engraving and legends.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Carloman II (Toulouse) (879-884) coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross symbol on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional Carolingian Empire coinage design that typically featured a central figure or motif. This cross symbol was added to signify the coin's connection to the Christian faith and to emphasize the religious influence of the Carolingian Empire during that time.
