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 reign being marked by political instability and Viking raids, he was able to issue a number of coins, including this denier, which was used as a standard circulation coin during his rule.
