Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin featuring Louis III the Blind is that it was minted during a time of great political instability in the Carolingian States. Louis III was the last Carolingian king of West Francia, and his reign was marked by power struggles with regional nobles and rival claimants to the throne. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Denier, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the importance of maintaining a stable currency during times of political upheaval.
