Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique monogram of Charlemagne, which was only used on coins minted at the Chateaudun mint during his reign. This monogram is a stylized combination of the letters "C" and "K," representing the king's name and title, and it can be seen on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This distinctive feature makes the Chateaudun mint's coins easily identifiable and highly sought after by collectors.
