Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier - Louis IV the Child (Toul) (900-911) from Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.2 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which had previously been a powerful and influential force in Europe, was in decline during the 10th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Louis IV, who was known as "the Child" due to his young age when he ascended to the throne. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the medieval minting process.
