Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare image of Louis IV the Child, who was the King of the West Franks and Holy Roman Emperor, on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This image is unique because it shows the young king with a short beard, which was uncommon for coins of that time period. Additionally, the coin's design includes a temple on the reverse (back) side, which symbolizes the king's connection to the Church and his role as a protector of the faith.
