Comment
There are varieties in engraving and legends.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles II (Paris) (840-864) from Kingdom of West Francia (Carolingian Empire) made of Silver weighing 0.98 g is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which was established by Charlemagne in the 8th century, was in the process of breaking apart during the reign of Charles II, and this coin was minted as a way to help finance the military campaigns and administrative expenses of the kingdom. Despite the challenges faced by the kingdom during this time, the coinage remained a symbol of stability and continuity, and the Denier remained a widely used denomination throughout Western Europe for centuries to come.
