Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin of Childebert IV is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the Frankish Kingdoms. Childebert IV was the son of King Charles Martel, who had expanded the Frankish territories through military conquests and strategic alliances. Childebert IV's reign saw the continuation of these expansionist policies, as well as the establishment of a new system of coinage that would become the standard for the Frankish Kingdoms. The Denier coin, made of silver and weighing 1.23 grams, was a key part of this new system and would go on to be used throughout Europe for centuries to come.
