Interesting fact
The Hugh of Arles Denier coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe, particularly in the Carolingian Empire. Hugh of Arles, also known as Hugh the Great, was a powerful noble who played a significant role in the political and military affairs of the empire during the late 9th and early 10th centuries. The coin's design and minting can be seen as a reflection of the political and economic influences of the time, and its preservation provides a unique window into the past for historians and numismatists.
