Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis the Pious, who was the King of the West Franks and Holy Roman Emperor from 813 to 840. The coin features the name "Otbert" which is an abbreviation of the name "Odobertus" which means "bright fame" in Germanic languages. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of significant cultural and political influence from the Germanic tribes in the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
