Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Charles the Simple, who was the King of West Francia from 990 to 1030. Despite his nickname, Charles the Simple was known for his efforts to stabilize and strengthen the French monarchy, and this coin may have been part of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.4 grams suggests that it was a significant coin in its time and may have been used for large transactions or as a store of value.
