Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis IV the Child (Cologne) (900-911) from Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.64 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which had once been a powerful and influential force, was in decline, and the territories it had once controlled were breaking away and forming their own independent states. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Louis IV, who was the King of the West Franks and the Holy Roman Emperor, highlighting the ongoing influence of the Carolingian dynasty even in the face of political upheaval.
