Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the Odonic monogram, which was a unique symbol used by King Ralph (also known as Ralph II) during his reign. The monogram is believed to have been inspired by the initials of the king's name, "Ra," and was used as a way to authenticate coins and other documents. The use of this monogram on the coin helps to distinguish it from other coins of the same period and mint, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Carolingian Empire.
