Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Charlemagne (Reims) (771-793) coin is that it features an image of Charlemagne, the King of the Franks, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Charlemagne's reign, which saw the unification of much of Western Europe under his rule, and the spread of Christianity throughout his empire. The coin's design reflects the importance of both secular and religious authority during this time period.
