Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Louis II, who was also known as Louis the Younger, and was the son of Emperor Louis I. He ruled the Kingdom of Italy from 844 to 875 and was known for his military campaigns against the Muslims in southern Italy. Despite his military successes, Louis II faced opposition from the nobility and the Church, and his reign was marked by political instability. This coin, which bears his image, was likely used to promote his image and legitimacy as a ruler.
