Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II, also known as Charles the Bald, who was the King of West Francia and the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite his powerful positions, Charles II faced numerous challenges during his reign, including Viking raids, internal power struggles, and territorial disputes with neighboring kingdoms. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain stability and continuity in the Carolingian States, and his coinage, such as this denier, remains an important part of numismatic history.
