Comment
Depeyrot attributes the Cvrtisasonien issues to Courgeon but the origin of these coins has still not been determined.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a bird on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional Christian imagery found on many coins of the time. This design choice may have been a nod to the Carolingian Empire's pre-Christian roots or a symbol of the king's power and influence.
