Comment
The attribution to Cambrai is uncertain.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Charlemagne (Cambrai) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charlemagne, who was the King of the Franks and the Holy Roman Emperor. Charlemagne was a powerful and influential leader who played a significant role in shaping European history. He was known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements, and his reign marked the beginning of the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of cultural and intellectual revival in Europe. The coin's design, which features an image of Charlemagne on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of his reign.
