Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique quadrilobe design, which means it has four lobes or clover-like shapes on the reverse side. This design was used specifically for coins minted at the Maastricht mint during Charlemagne's reign, and it's a distinctive feature that sets these coins apart from others issued by the Unified Carolingian Empire.
