Comment
Coupland takes up the hypothesis of Grierson according to which the very first types of the reign of Charlemagne, with non-standardized legends like here, ceased to be struck in 771, after the death of Carloman.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Charlemagne (Roses mint; K Rx F) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charlemagne, who was the King of the Franks and Holy Roman Emperor from 768 to 814. Charlemagne was a powerful and influential leader who played a significant role in shaping European history, and his image on the coin reflects his importance and legacy. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver and weighs 1.21 grams suggests that it was a valuable and widely used form of currency during its time.
