Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Pepin II (Cahors) (845-848) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with flared arms) on the obverse (front) side of the coin, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued by Pepin II during his reign. This design element was used to distinguish Pepin's coins from those issued by his father, Charles the Bald, who had a similar coinage system in place. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from the Carolingian States, and its design reflects the political and monetary reforms implemented by Pepin II during his reign.
