Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis I (Dax) (818-823) from Unified Carolingian Empire made of Silver weighing 1.58 g is that it was used as a means of exchange and commerce during a time of great cultural and economic growth in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis the Pious, who was the son of Charlemagne and continued his father's policies of promoting education, art, and religion. The coin's design features an image of Louis I on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the close relationship between the Carolingian Empire and the Catholic Church. Despite its small size, this coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce across the empire, contributing to the growth and prosperity of the region.
