Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Louis I, also known as Louis the Pious, who was the King of the Carolingian Empire from 813 to 840. He was known for his strong support of the Catholic Church and his efforts to maintain the unity of the empire, which had been established by his father, Charlemagne. The coin's design and issuance during this time period reflect the political and economic influences of the Carolingian States during this era.
