Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis IV, who was also known as Louis the Child, and was the King of West Francia from 954 to 955. Despite his short reign, he played an important role in the history of France and this coin serves as a reminder of his legacy.
