Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles III (Toul) (911-922) from Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which was established by Charlemagne in the 8th century, was in decline and the territories it once controlled were breaking apart. Despite this, the coinage of the period continued to be minted in the traditional style, with the image of the ruling king on one side and a cross on the other. This coin, featuring Charles III, is a rare example of a coin minted during this tumultuous period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
