Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pepin II, who was the son of Charles the Bald and the King of Aquitaine from 845 to 848. Despite being a relatively short reign, Pepin II's coins are still widely studied and collected today, providing valuable insights into the economic and political conditions of the Carolingian States during that time.
