Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Pepin the Short (Troyes) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Europe. Pepin the Short, who ruled the Unified Carolingian Empire from 751 to 768, implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the empire's economy and centralizing power. The minting of this coin, which was made of silver and weighed 1.33 grams, was likely part of these efforts to standardize currency and promote trade across the empire.
