Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles II (Lyon) (869-875) from Kingdom of Lower Burgundy (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.81 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian States were a collection of territories ruled by the Carolingian dynasty, which was a powerful and influential family in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The coin's minting during this time period suggests that it may have played a role in the economic and trade networks of the region, and its silver content may have been a symbol of value and wealth.
