Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles II the Bald (Liege) (869-875) from Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.65 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which Charles II the Bald ruled, was in the process of decentralizing and breaking apart, leading to the formation of smaller kingdoms and territories. Despite this instability, the coinage of the period remained consistent, with the denier being a widely used denomination throughout the empire. This coin, in particular, was minted in the city of Liege, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the Carolingian era.
