Comment
Morrison attributes this coin to Charles II. According to Elsen, this type was struck during the reign of Count Baldwin II of Flanders.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian States, which included Lotharingia, were in the process of breaking apart, and this coin was likely minted as a way to maintain control and stability in the region. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's production suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after material at the time.
