Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 coinage reforms had a lasting impact on the currency of the region, with the introduction of a new standardized system of coinage that was based on the silver denier. This coin, which weighs 1.63 grams and is made of silver, is an example of that reform.
