One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Odo, also known as Odo the Great, who was the King of West Francia from 888 to 898. He was a member of the Carolingian dynasty and played a significant role in the political and military events of his time. The coin's design and inscription, including the use of the Latin phrase "ODO GRATIA D- RE," reflect the influence of the Carolingian Empire and the Catholic Church during this period.
