Comment
Attribution to Morigny is uncertain.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Charlemagne (Morigny) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Europe. The Unified Carolingian Empire, which Charlemagne ruled, was a period of relative stability and prosperity, and the coinage issued during this time reflected the growing economic power of the empire. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during the time period.
