Comment
This type was attributed to Charles the Simple by Morrison and to Charles the Fat by Prou. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Charles de Provence, also known as Charles the Bald, who was the King of West Francia and the Holy Roman Emperor during his reign from 855 to 863. This coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a silver denier from the Carolingian States.
