Comment
During the first part of his reign, Charlemagne continued to issue the Denier under the same conditions as under the reign of Pepin the Short, at the theoretical mass of 1.28 g. The centralization of coinage was reinforced, as evidenced by the systematic use of the CAROLVS legend in two lines.This type with the legend AVTRANO in three lines is well known for Pepin the Short (Morrisson# 47) but it is infinitely rarer for Charlemagne. It was attributed to Saint-Denis by Metcalf. Longpérier saw in it the name of the moneyer Autramnus, Gariel and Grierson lean towards Antrain.
